Q: Can mudjacking damage my foundation?

• <div><p>Mudjacking is usually reserved for light-duty slabs, like patios, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-concrete-driveway-cost.htm">driveways</a>, and sidewalks. However, it can be an effective way to lift garage slabs and concrete around the perimeter of the home, which could harm your foundation if it&rsquo;s not done properly. The risk of damage is why having a professional mudjacking company carry out the work is important. This type of slab or foundation repair is relatively inexpensive, especially if you consider that a DIY job requires that you pay to rent the necessary equipment.</p></div>

Q: Can a block foundation be fixed?

• <div><p>Yes, you can fix a block foundation. It&rsquo;s important to address the issue immediately and have a foundation repair professional understand the severity of the issue and determine the best course of action. If the wall collapses before the foundation is repaired, then you&rsquo;ll have to reassess your entire foundation.</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>

Q: How serious is foundation settling?

• <div><p>Foundation settling is normal and expected if just a small amount of settlement occurs within a year or so after construction. This usually results in hairline cracks in the foundation, which aren&rsquo;t typically a problem. If settlement occurs years after construction, unevenly under your home, or results in signs of structural damage, then it could be very serious. Foundation stabilization and drainage system installation to fix unnatural settlement can cost tens of thousands of dollars and compromise the structural integrity of your entire home.</p></div>

Q: How can you tell if a crack is structural?

• <div><p>Foundation cracks that are 1/8 inch wide or less, aren&rsquo;t uneven across the gap, and don&rsquo;t continue widening over time are usually just normal settling cracks and don&rsquo;t suggest structural issues. Horizontal cracks and stair-step cracks on foundation walls, any cracks that continue widening, are wider than 1/8 inch, or where one side juts out beyond the other, are often indicative of structural damage.</p></div>

I highly recommend Tyler. He responded quickly, did the chimney repair work quickly, and did a great job. He saved me a lot of money compared to another estimate. He is also pleasant, professional and easy to work with. He explained everything thoroughly. It was an excellent experience.

Bob was prompt and professional. We had him replace the crown on our chimney, replace several bricks, replace some flashing and repair some loose slate on our front step. I would highly recommend him for any masonary job.

It is like a junk yard and I didn’t realize they do automotive repair, but they are friendly and easy to work with. I had been treated wrong at another mechanic and this man understands what has happened, he is even going to turn in Performance Towing & Repair for doing work incorrectly.
