Can a slab foundation sink?

• <div><p>Yes, slab foundations can sink just like any other foundation type. Floating slabs are the most prone to differential settlement and foundation sinking because they sit directly on the surface of the earth. Slab foundations that have footings—including <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/slab-on-grade-foundation.htm">slab-on-grade foundations</a> and monolithic slab foundations—get additional support from soil further down and are less likely to sink over time, especially under larger, heavier structures.</p></div>

Q: How long does foundation sealant last?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll need to reseal the foundation <b>every five to 10 years, </b>depending on the sealant you&rsquo;ve used, the moisture conditions present in and around your home, and the condition of your foundation. Having a foundation inspection conducted before reapplication can help you catch any problems before you begin resealing. Of course, if you notice any new leaks or other moisture problems at any time, it may be necessary to reseal the foundation sooner.</p></div>

Q: When does water damage a foundation?

• <div><p>Water damage to a foundation often starts as a slow leak or water vapor problem that worsens over the course of months or even years. The speed at which foundation leaks worsen depends on a few factors, including your climate and location, the soil composition around your home, the foundation drainage system you have in place, if any, and the type of foundation you have. Even if you have a minor issue that&rsquo;s slow to develop, it&rsquo;s best to have a professional address the issue immediately.</p></div>

Q: What is underpinning a foundation?

• <div><p>Underpinning a foundation is when a contractor installs deep piers under your foundation to provide support. Professionals often use this foundation repair method when the soil underneath the foundation is no longer strong enough to support the house evenly. Underpinning a foundation often comes with other repairs to tackle the source of the problem. For example, a contractor may regrade your yard around your home&rsquo;s foundation to make sure water drains away from your house.</p></div>

Q: What services do cement companies offer?

• <div><p>Cement companies offer a wide variety of services, including delivering and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-do-contractors-pour-solid-concrete-foundations.htm">pouring concrete for home foundations</a>, walkways, patios, driveways, concrete steps, pools, pool decks, and more, plus concrete repair and patching. Most companies also have the ability to demolish and haul away old concrete landscaping features. It&rsquo;s a good idea to reach out to a few different companies before hiring to make sure you choose one that can tackle the entirety of the project you have from start to finish. This method will typically save you some money over hiring multiple contractors. </p></div>

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.
