How do I know if my foundation is slab-on-grade?

• <div><p>If you don’t have any access to or knowledge of any area underneath your home, chances are it’s built slab-on-grade. You can also look for the concrete around the bottom edge of your structure; if it’s just a few inches tall, it’s likely a slab. If it’s more than that, has any windows, or you have steps leading to your main entrance, you likely have a different foundation style.</p></div>

Q: What does a bad house foundation look like?

• <div><p>While it can be difficult to identify a bad foundation at first glance, look for large horizontal cracks, discoloration, bulging basement walls, or signs of water damage. You may also see large gaps between the home and the foundation on the outside or signs of pooling water from a recent storm.</p></div>

Q: Does cracked tile mean foundation problems?

• <div><p>Cracked tiles can mean foundation problems. Fortunately, most of the time, cracked tiles happen as a result of accidental damage. It is important to determine the cause of cracking to rule out underlying foundation issues. If your tiles were not damaged due to dropped items, heavy loads, poor installation, or inferior tile quality, and the cracks are spreading throughout your flooring and not limited to just one area, you may be dealing with foundation problems. These can include drainage problems and even foundation failure, so it is vital to call a licensed contractor to assess the issue and ensure your foundation is safe.</p></div>

Q: Should I buy a house with foundation issues?

• <div><p>You can buy a home with foundation issues, but understanding the extent of the problem and what solution you need is critical. If you learn that a home you&rsquo;re trying to buy has a foundation problem, it&rsquo;s not necessarily a deal breaker, but you should have a professional assess the issue to see how severe it is and know <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/when-to-walk-away-from-foundation-issues.htm">when to walk away from a foundation problem</a>. Foundation issues can necessitate simple and affordable solutions or complex work that costs thousands. </p></div>

Q: Does foundation repair require a building permit?

• <div><p>Foundation repairs typically require a building permit, depending on the state and local jurisdiction. Make sure your contractor follows all building codes, and a local building inspector will review all work to ensure that it is up to code. Not following local building codes can prevent the sale of your home and potentially put your home at an even greater risk of damage if the work isn&rsquo;t done properly. You can call your local municipal office to confirm that your contractor has filed the necessary permits.</p></div>
