Q: 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&mdash;insufficient support from the soil and hydrostatic pressure on your foundation walls, respectively&mdash;so they can last for many decades, making them &ldquo;lifetime fixes.&rdquo; 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: What percentage of homes have foundation problems?

• <div><p>Around 25% of homes have foundation problems - it&rsquo;s a very common issue. Foundation problems can range from very minor to severe and urgent. Call a foundation inspector to determine the severity of any potential issues you identify with your foundation.</p></div>

Q: Will your foundation be able to support a second story?

• <div><p>Most single-story homes don't have foundations strong enough to support a second story, but they can be reinforced for an addition. A structural engineer can assess your foundation and what needs to be done to get it ready. They'll look at any cracks or unevenness in your current foundation and consider any special framing or beams your home needs, especially if it&rsquo;s in a high-wind or hurricane area.</p><p>&ldquo;To support a second story, many structural engineers will require that you install additional concrete piers in the crawlspace,&rdquo; says Tschudi. &ldquo;This involves hand excavating, pouring a large concrete footing&mdash;usually with specially coated rebar&mdash;and then building concrete piers right up to the girders.&rdquo;</p></div>

Q: What maintenance is required for concrete installations?

• <div><p>Periodic sealing and cleaning to maintain appearance and integrity.</p></div>

Q: Is thicker concrete less likely to crack?

• <div><p>Yes, thicker concrete is less likely to crack. The thicker the concrete is, the less susceptible it is to extreme changes in weather conditions that often cause concrete to crack or chip. If you&rsquo;re unable to install a thicker concrete driveway for any reason, you can also ask your professional to install more rebar or wire mesh to provide greater strength and better resilience to damage. </p></div>

These guys were great! They removed and replaced a large section of concrete basement floor. This was all hand work. They had to wheel all the rubble out and the new concrete in. They showed up on time and worked hard. They kept in contact via text and phone. The end product was very good.
