Q: Will foundation repair affect home value?

• <div><p>Foundation repair can affect home value positively or negatively. If you address the underlying issue and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hire-foundation-repair-contractor.htm">hire a foundation repair contractor</a> to complete the work&mdash;especially one that includes a warranty for the work&mdash;then your repair will likely increase your home&rsquo;s value. If you fail to pull proper permits and cannot prove that a licensed expert completed the work, there&rsquo;s a chance buyers will view your home in a negative light and end up offering less for your property.</p></div>

Q: 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&rsquo;s important to get a foundation repair specialist or structural engineer to test the foundation to see if it&rsquo;s supporting your structure properly. They can determine if the loads on the concrete are uneven or need reinforcement.</p></div>

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

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t have any access to or knowledge of any area underneath your home, chances are it&rsquo;s built slab-on-grade. You can also look for the concrete around the bottom edge of your structure; if it&rsquo;s just a few inches tall, it&rsquo;s likely a slab. If it&rsquo;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 happens if you don’t fix foundation problems?

• <div><p>Foundation problems will likely get worse over time if they aren&rsquo;t repaired. As foundation problems progress, your home may experience signs of structural damage, water damage, and health and safety risks&mdash;all of which will only get more expensive to fix the longer you wait. Repair foundation problems as soon as you&rsquo;re aware of them to avoid complex and expensive remediation in the future.</p></div>

Q: How do you know if a concrete crack is serious?

• <div><p>Although some concrete cracks are cosmetic, others can be more serious. Cracks wider than ⅛ inch or that extend through the slab are serious and can cause structural damage. If you notice these types of cracks in your concrete patio, contact a local contractor <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-installs-concrete-patios.htm">who installs concrete patios</a> to inspect the damage and determine how to fix it. </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.

I didn't feel the technician was capable of performing any task beyond a simple diagnostic, but didn't want to pre-judge. I had this opinion because he didn't present himself as a "knowledgeable" professional, but more like someone who had just graduated from a vocational school w/a year of...
