Are foundation repairs permanent?

• <div><p>Some foundation repairs are permanent, like underpinning and exterior drainage systems like the French drain. These fixes address the underlying problems—insufficient support from the soil and hydrostatic pressure on your foundation walls, respectively—so they can last for many decades, making them “lifetime fixes.” There are other solutions to address these issues that will last for up to a decade, making them temporary. These include slabjacking to raise concrete slabs back into place and dampproofing to reduce the water in the soil that interacts with the concrete foundation. </p></div>

Q: How much foundation sinking is too much?

• <div><p>Most houses are expected to settle over time, but foundation sinking of more than a few inches or uneven sinking of more than an inch for every 20 feet is cause for concern. Any significant or uneven sinking should be assessed by a professional to determine the cause and perform any necessary repairs. </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>

Q: How do I raise my house to make foundation repairs?

• <div><p>In order to raise your home to make foundation repairs, you'll need to bring in a structural engineer to help you design the project. You'll also need to see if you're eligible for the permits needed, and <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/foundation-contractors/">contact a foundation repair company near you</a>.</p></div>

Q: How serious is concrete spalling?

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.
