How do I know if my foundation is slab-on-grade?

• <div><p>If you don’t have any access to or knowledge of any area underneath your home, chances are it’s built slab-on-grade. You can also look for the concrete around the bottom edge of your structure; if it’s just a few inches tall, it’s likely a slab. If it’s more than that, has any windows, or you have steps leading to your main entrance, you likely have a different foundation style.</p></div>

Are foundation walls load-bearing?

• <div><p>Yes. Foundation walls are always load-bearing.</p></div>

Q: What does a bad house foundation look like?

• <div><p>While it can be difficult to identify a bad foundation at first glance, look for large horizontal cracks, discoloration, bulging basement walls, or signs of water damage. You may also see large gaps between the home and the foundation on the outside or signs of pooling water from a recent storm.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if my foundation is slab-on-grade?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t have any access to or knowledge of any area underneath your home, chances are it&rsquo;s built slab-on-grade. You can also look for the concrete around the bottom edge of your structure; if it&rsquo;s just a few inches tall, it&rsquo;s likely a slab. If it&rsquo;s more than that, has any windows, or you have steps leading to your main entrance, you likely have a different foundation style.</p></div>

Q: Will my homeowner’s insurance policy cover my slab leak cost?

• <div><p>Most homeowner&rsquo;s insurance policies will cover the cost of slab leak repair that results from a natural disaster, like an earthquake or a severe flood, or from a tree falling on your home. Damage from frozen pipes in your slab is also typically covered. However, your policy is unlikely to cover the repair if an invading tree root causes the damage or if it&rsquo;s a pinhole leak that results from corrosion. You should contact your insurance provider for a full run-down of what they cover.</p></div>

Q: Does house settling mean foundation issues?

• <div><p>No, house settling is normal as your home&rsquo;s foundation settles into the soil below and as the framing of your home shifts as it expands and contracts with changes in temperature and moisture. However, if you get to the point where your doors and windows aren&rsquo;t opening easily, your floors are uneven, or you can visibly see that your roof line is wavy or uneven, you are more likely to have foundation issues.</p></div>

Very well and I am satisfied with repairs that were done today. It has been difficult to find a skilled tradesman willing to tackle this project. I am rehiring Hunter for further repairwork on my home.
