Is thicker concrete less likely to crack?

• <div><p>Yes, thicker concrete is less likely to crack. The thicker the concrete is, the less susceptible it is to extreme changes in weather conditions that often cause concrete to crack or chip. If you’re unable to install a thicker concrete driveway for any reason, you can also ask your professional to install more rebar or wire mesh to provide greater strength and better resilience to damage. </p></div>

Q: Does cracked brick mean foundation problems?

• <div><p>Sometimes cracked brick can mean a foundation problem, such as when the crack appears indoors and is vertical, or long horizontal cracks either inside or outside. If the crack widens at the top, then it&rsquo;s safe to assume there is structural damage. Other things to look for are uneven floors, diagonal cracks indoors, and doors and windows that stick. </p></div>

Q: What is the best foundation repair method?

• <div><p>The best foundation repair method will depend on the issue you&rsquo;re having, but usually, foundation instability is best fixed using supportive piers, like steel piers or helical piers. A professional foundation repair contractor or structural engineer should always decide what the best course of action is, and even then, it&rsquo;s imperative that you also take measures to treat the underlying issue as well, like soil erosion or oversaturation from runoff.</p></div>

Q: What can I do if my foundation repair claim is denied?

• <div><p>If your foundation repair claim gets denied, the first step is to carefully read over your policy and denial letter so you understand the reason for the denial. Then, gather evidence and documents that can support your case and appeal the denial with your insurance company. If your insurer does not eventually honor your claim, you may want to file a complaint with the insurance department in your state. In some cases, it may make sense to work with an attorney and file a lawsuit.</p></div>

Q: What are the most cost-effective foundation repairs?

• <div><p>The most cost-effective foundation repair is using <b>masonry patches and sealants</b> to seal foundation cracks and offer some support to prevent further damage. These methods are used to fix minor foundation cracks quickly. However, they&rsquo;re not suitable as a long-term solution, and they only offer minimal stability. On average, masonry patches and sealants cost <b>$500</b>, but a sealant like an epoxy crack injection can total <b>over $2,000</b>. If you&rsquo;re handy and only looking for a temporary solution until you contact a local foundation repair contractor for a more permanent one, you can save hundreds by DIYing this repair.</p></div>

I was happy with them because Chris offered some suggestions to make the yard work better for me. But the options are not probably the best for my needs. The gravel and mulch areas are great and the drip system seem to be working just fine but the mulch may not be a good choice for my dogs since...

I would recommend Dave for any appliance repair. He explained what was wrong and the part he was replacing. He knows what he is doing and showed me how to clean the coils to keep the compressor in good working condition. A very nice person.
