How do you test for foundation problems?

• <div><p>You can use a level or straight-edge to test for plumb foundation walls and a level slab, a level or a ball to check for sloping floors inside your home, and a hygrometer to look for moisture in your underhome area. Aside from these DIY tests, it’s important to get a foundation repair specialist or structural engineer to test the foundation to see if it’s supporting your structure properly. They can determine if the loads on the concrete are uneven or need reinforcement.</p></div>

What happens if you don’t follow foundation code requirements?

• <div><p>Violating building codes can lead to a number of consequences, including fines, citations, and even being required to demolish the structure and start over. If your house isn’t compliant with code requirements, you can also run into trouble when it comes time to get homeowners insurance or sell your house. Following all applicable building codes will avert costly consequences.</p></div>

Q: How long does foundation repair typically take?

• <div><p>It depends on the severity of the damage, lasting from a few days to several weeks.</p></div>

Q: How much foundation settling is normal in a new house?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s usually not a big deal if your foundation sinks between 2 and 3 inches into the ground after construction, provided the settlement occurs evenly. This is usually indicative of normal settlement that occurs as the soil under your home adapts to the weight of the structure. If the home sinks more into the ground or the settlement occurs unevenly, leaving portions of your home to sink further down than others, then call a foundation repair specialist to address the issue and avoid additional damage. </p></div>

Q: What are the warning signs of a serious concrete crack?

• <div><p>Minor hairline cracks in your concrete may not look pretty, but they&rsquo;re often not serious. It&rsquo;s when concrete cracks are larger&mdash;wide enough that you can slide a credit card into it&mdash;that you need to worry. If you monitor a crack and can trace its active expansion over time, you&rsquo;ll definitely want to call in a pro to inspect it and, potentially, repair it. Want to prevent cracks in your garage and driveway concrete in the future? Stay on top of sealing. Here&rsquo;s how to seal your concrete garage floor and driveway.</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.
