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>

Q: Is it normal to have cracks in your basement floor?

• <div><p>Yes, all basement floors crack in response to the natural settlement of the soil around them and from concrete shrinkage as it cures, and you&rsquo;ll see hairline cracks as a result. However, you should keep an eye on your basement floor to see if cracks continue to lengthen or widen or show signs of water intrusion. In any of these cases, the problem is likely not settling or shrinkage, and a professional repair is necessary.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t follow foundation code requirements?

• <div><p>Violating building codes can lead to a number of consequences, including fines, citations, and even being required to demolish the structure and start over. If your house isn&rsquo;t compliant with code requirements, you can also run into trouble when it comes time to get homeowners insurance or sell your house. Following all applicable building codes will avert costly consequences.</p></div>

Q: How can you tell if a crack is structural?

• <div><p>Foundation cracks that are 1/8 inch wide or less, aren&rsquo;t uneven across the gap, and don&rsquo;t continue widening over time are usually just normal settling cracks and don&rsquo;t suggest structural issues. Horizontal cracks and stair-step cracks on foundation walls, any cracks that continue widening, are wider than 1/8 inch, or where one side juts out beyond the other, are often indicative of structural damage.</p></div>

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>

"Very professional and well-done work to perform repairs to 4 cracks that were leaking from previous repairs and repaired multiple rod holes in foundation. Many of which either were actively leaking prior to repairs or showing signs of leaking soon. The tech, Randy, had previously not been out to site before for quote. But took the time prior to starting any work to go over the proposal and review all work that was expected to be performed to verify his and my expectations were both in alignment. About halfway through the job had me re-verify that all rod holes that were previously identified and discussed were being addressed. Did a great job performing clean up and stayed later than expected to fully complete the job instead of calling it a day in the middle of the work. Would highly recommend Stay Dry to others for work to repair foundation cracks and rod hole leaks."
