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’s in a high-wind or hurricane area.</p><p>“To support a second story, many structural engineers will require that you install additional concrete piers in the crawlspace,” says Tschudi. “This involves hand excavating, pouring a large concrete footing—usually with specially coated rebar—and then building concrete piers right up to the girders.”</p></div>

Q: What happens if your foundation isn't square?

• <div><p>If your foundation isn&rsquo;t properly square, there&rsquo;s a chance that anything you built before detecting the issue may need to be torn down. A major miscalculation could leave some walls of your home unsupported. </p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a raised foundation?

• <div><p>Regular inspections, proper drainage management, and ensuring soil stability help prevent future settlement issues.</p></div>

Q: How do you fix water damaged concrete?

• <div><p>You can patch minor cracks and damage yourself using concrete fillers or mortar. Larger damage may require full replacement of affected slabs. However, water damage to your concrete will never disappear unless you address the root cause causing the water to cumulate. To prevent future damage, you can also waterproof your concrete.</p></div>

Q: How can you tell if a concrete job is bad?

• <div><p>Visible cracks, scaling, flaking, and uneven surfaces indicate a bad concrete job. Additional signs vary depending on the project. You may notice poor drainage or even exposed rebar. Quality issues result from using the wrong concrete, rushing the work, or inexperienced workers completing the job.</p></div>

DO NOT USE THIS PLACE. DO NOT CALL THEM TO COME AND REPAIR/DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM WITH AN APPLIANCE! Clearly that is the only way they are making money. Here's why: We called to get our dryer repaired, and wondered since the tech was going to be there could he also price the repair of our washing...
