Q: Is slab-on-grade good?

• <div><p>A slab-on-grade or slab foundation is a great option in many areas&mdash;usually in warm or moderate climates&mdash;and has been a successful foundation style for many decades. Slab foundations don&rsquo;t require excavation or concrete block wall construction, so they&rsquo;re the least expensive foundation type. They&rsquo;re also the fastest to construct and don&rsquo;t have many issues with moisture or water intrusion. However, they don&rsquo;t give you extra storage space or potential living space like a crawl space or basement would, and they&rsquo;re not ideal in colder areas where utility lines can freeze and frost heave can cause major damage.</p></div>

Q: How do you test for foundation problems?

• <div><p>You can use a level or straight-edge to test for plumb foundation walls and a level slab, a level or a ball to check for sloping floors inside your home, and a hygrometer to look for moisture in your underhome area. Aside from these DIY tests, it&rsquo;s important to get a foundation repair specialist or structural engineer to test the foundation to see if it&rsquo;s supporting your structure properly. They can determine if the loads on the concrete are uneven or need reinforcement.</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>

Q: What is the best concrete crack sealer?

• <div><p>You have different options depending on the scale of repair needed. If you are repairing minor cracks that are between &frac14; inch to 1.5 inch wide and less than half an inch deep, a self-leveling polyurethane sealant would be your best choice. Polyurethane sealants dry to the touch within one to two hours. Since they come in a tube applier, you also have the option to complete the repair without emptying out your garage.</p></div>

Q: Will your foundation be able to support a second story?

• <div><p>Most single-story homes don't have foundations strong enough to support a second story, but they can be reinforced for an addition. A structural engineer can assess your foundation and what needs to be done to get it ready. They'll look at any cracks or unevenness in your current foundation and consider any special framing or beams your home needs, especially if it&rsquo;s in a high-wind or hurricane area.</p><p>&ldquo;To support a second story, many structural engineers will require that you install additional concrete piers in the crawlspace,&rdquo; says Tschudi. &ldquo;This involves hand excavating, pouring a large concrete footing&mdash;usually with specially coated rebar&mdash;and then building concrete piers right up to the girders.&rdquo;</p></div>

"ErieHome waterproofed my basement. The crew was polite, kind, and came in, did an excellent job in 3 days by digging a trench on the inside of the basement, removing the dirt from the bottom of the foundation, installed corrugated tubing, rock and then cement. They also installed a Humidex airpurifier and new sump pump with a backup pump. They cleaned up afterward. Any questions I had were answered in a respectful manor. I now have peace of mind knowing that I no longer have to monitor weather forecasts for rain or have to clean up anymore incoming water. The system is warranted for the life of the house and included within the price, which increased the value of my home."

Foundation Repair questions, answered by experts

A slab-on-grade or slab foundation is a great option in many areas—usually in warm or moderate climates—and has been a successful foundation style for many decades. Slab foundations don’t require excavation or concrete block wall construction, so they’re the least expensive foundation type. They’re also the fastest to construct and don’t have many issues with moisture or water intrusion. However, they don’t give you extra storage space or potential living space like a crawl space or basement would, and they’re not ideal in colder areas where utility lines can freeze and frost heave can cause major damage.
