Q: Are foundation walls load-bearing?

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

Q: When should you walk away from foundation problems?

• <div><p>Foundation problems are costly to repair, but if you already own the home, you can either handle the issues or allow the property to (literally) sink into disrepair. The opposite is true when buying a home. Walk away if the seller refuses to lower the asking price once foundation issues are exposed or if they refuse to handle the problems before the completion of the sale.</p></div>

Q: How do you reinforce a pier and beam foundation?

• <div><p>There are a few ways to reinforce a pier and beam foundation, including installing additional piers and beams for added support and performing underpinning, which redistributes the weight of your home further down into the ground where frost and soil expansion don&rsquo;t pose a threat to the foundation. The best option for reinforcement varies based on your particular home and the soil conditions beneath it. </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>

Q: How long does efflorescence damage a concrete slab?

• <div><p>Efflorescence can damage a concrete slab for two to three years. After that, it resolves on its own once the surrounding salts are gone.</p></div>

"They were responsive to every call, did the work professionally and cleaned up nicely. We would not hesitate to recommend them to friends and family. We had two leaning columns in the back yard that are now straight and piered so they will never shift again. They then removed a large area of cracked cement and relayed. It looks fantastic!
