Q: Can tree roots break through concrete?

• <div><p>Tree roots don&rsquo;t necessarily break through concrete on their own, but they can certainly take advantage of existing cracks, even very small ones. As roots grow, they expand the cracks, making them larger and leading to serious and costly foundation damage. It&rsquo;s a good idea to have repairs on any <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quarter-inch-crack-my-foundation-major-concern.htm">foundation cracks you&rsquo;re concerned about</a>. </p></div>

Q: What methods are used for foundation repair?

• <div><p>Foundation repair uses methods such as underpinning, slab jacking, or application of hydraulic piers. Each technique is chosen based on structural needs, soil conditions, and damage extent, ensuring a stable and secure foundation.</p></div>

Q: Who pulls a permit for foundation repair?

• <div><p>Most building departments will require that a certified and licensed foundation repair professional or a structural engineer pull permits for foundation repair, so homeowners usually cannot pull them themselves. This helps ensure that an experienced professional completes all structural work on your home. Minor repairs that are technically DIYable often won&rsquo;t require permits, but it&rsquo;s still a good idea to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-do-i-hire-foundation-repair.htm">hire a professional to carry out foundation repair</a>s.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to fix a slab leak?

• <div><p>Minor slab leaks normally take around three hours to access and fix, provided the leak is in an accessible location. However, a more extensive leak or a leak in a hard-to-reach location can take several days to fix, depending on the resulting damage. You might also want to consider the timeline for the build-back if the leak damages building materials like flooring or cabinets, which can take several weeks, including delivery of the materials.</p></div>

Horrible, absolutely horrible. DO NOT use this company. Company charges $289 to come out and look at your hot tub with the claim that the $289 will be applied to the total repair cost. Once they finally came to my house in mid July to look at the tub, the tech identified the issue right where...

He started with a price of $380 which was a bit high and then he said he found another problem after he started. Now it is $500 dollar repair on an $800 six yr old fridge. I could have spent another $400 and had a new one. Will not use him again.

He did not fix the car"s problem, and then told me to arrange towing and service somewhere else because he had "done all he could". The Dealership it was towed to then had to repair the damage caused by his mistake.
