Q: Do cracks in brick always mean foundation problems?

• <div><p>New constructions need time to &ldquo;settle&rdquo; and sometimes, small hairline cracks occur as a result. Larger horizontal or &ldquo;stair step&rdquo; cracks, however, are usually a sign of a deeper, more severe issue. It could indicate an issue with the soil beneath the home, a problem caused by an overgrown tree, or another problem.</p></div>

Q: Can a house with a bad foundation be saved?

• <div><p>There are many actions that specialists can take to repair a bad foundation. However, just like a car, a specialist will determine whether the cost of repairs is worth it in the long run. In many cases, repairs to the surrounding property&mdash;such as regrading your lawn or addressing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-solve-yard-drainage-problems.htm">lawn drainage issues</a>&mdash;will also be necessary.</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: What happens if a house doesn't have a good foundation?

• <div><p>Always <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-do-i-hire-foundation-repair.htm">hire a foundation repair contractor</a> the moment you suspect your house doesn't have a good foundation. The longer you wait to address foundation issues, the more likely they can lead to bowing floors, cracks in walls and ceilings, sticking doors and windows, chimney and roof problems, and more. Foundation problems can also let moisture into your home, leading to water damage, mold, and mildew problems.</p></div>

Q: Is it normal to have cracks in your basement floor?

• <div><p>Yes, all basement floors crack in response to the natural settlement of the soil around them and from concrete shrinkage as it cures, and you&rsquo;ll see hairline cracks as a result. However, you should keep an eye on your basement floor to see if cracks continue to lengthen or widen or show signs of water intrusion. In any of these cases, the problem is likely not settling or shrinkage, and a professional repair is necessary.</p></div>

Kevin was fabulous. He repaired the broken pipe in the upstairs bathroom and got the water running in the house again. He was quick, efficient, and kind. Would absolutely hire him again for future repairs.

They installed a trench around the inside wall of garage. The trench now has many cracks and the top of the trench has a taper. This taper on the floor prevents me from using shelving against the wall without having to add front shims. I had a man door to the basement that was cemented shut....

"Trevor and his crew had come and scoped the job giving us an estimate. After we agreed they were chosen to the work, we were given a starting date. The crew showed up on time and worked for two and a half days to prepare the area for the patio extension and build a beautiful retaining wall for the area that set back into the hill. The stairs to the front door were replaced with newly constructed rebar and structural elements that will last for many more years than the original stair that only lasted 24 years. The new stairs now match the full width of the front porch which now looks much more symmetrical. The pad leading up to the stairs was enlarged and lengthened. They came back on the third day and the concrete was poured and finished. When they finished the work they made sure they cleaned up the job site and left everything as it was before. Trevor and his crew did an excellent job and we are so happy with how the job turned out and we highly recommend them for any work you may need completed."
