What happens if you don’t fix foundation problems?

• <div><p>Foundation problems will likely get worse over time if they aren’t repaired. As foundation problems progress, your home may experience signs of structural damage, water damage, and health and safety risks—all of which will only get more expensive to fix the longer you wait. Repair foundation problems as soon as you’re aware of them to avoid complex and expensive remediation in the future.</p></div>

Q: Are hairline cracks in concrete a problem?

• <div><p>No, hairline cracks in concrete are generally not a problem as they do not impact the strength and longevity of the concrete. Generally, cracks less than 0.3 millimeter wide don&rsquo;t impact the structure. Hairline cracks can grow over time and weaken the structure, such as in a home foundation. Some hairline cracks can also cause leaks in a foundation. It&rsquo;s important to watch the cracks to see if they grow. Contact a concrete contractor if you notice cracks exceeding 0.3 millimeter wide.</p></div>

Q: Does cracked brick mean foundation problems?

• <div><p>Sometimes cracked brick can mean a foundation problem, such as when the crack appears indoors and is vertical, or long horizontal cracks either inside or outside. If the crack widens at the top, then it&rsquo;s safe to assume there is structural damage. Other things to look for are uneven floors, diagonal cracks indoors, and doors and windows that stick. </p></div>

Q: How do you tell the difference between settling and foundation problems?

• <div><p>Most of the time, normal foundation settling will present as thin cracks in the foundation and minor creaks in the floorboards. In contrast, you can identify foundation issues by wide or uneven foundation cracks, horizontal or step-shaped gaps on the foundation wall, or cracks that go around corners of your foundation. Foundation problems can also cause changes in your living area, like increased humidity, uneven or sloping floors, nail pops in drywall, countertops pulling away from the wall, and windows and doors getting stuck. When in doubt, call in a professional to identify the underlying cause.</p></div>

Q: How do you seal a leaky concrete slab?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-seal-concrete.htm">seal a concrete slab</a> by cleaning the surface, filling in any cracks, etching the surface, applying a sealer, and letting it dry. Concrete slabs don't typically need sealing, but you can use a topical concrete sealer if you notice signs of water damage. If you haven't already fixed the cause of the leak, then you'll want to repair the plumbing before you seal a concrete slab.</p></div>

Did a very professional job and were honest about the condition of the systems. I have old systems, and both needed to be checked and cleaned, but no repairs were needed (which I knew), and they didn't try to talk me into unneeded repair work.
