Do all foundation cracks need repair?
No. Cracks vary in cause and significance. The important questions are whether the crack is changing, whether movement is present and whether other symptoms appear nearby.
Can uneven floors be a foundation problem?
Yes, but not always. Floors can change because of framing, crawl-space supports, settlement or multiple conditions at once.
When are foundation piers used?
Pier systems may be used when a structure needs support transferred to more capable material below the affected foundation. The design should be site-specific.
Can drainage affect foundation conditions?
Water around a structure can influence moisture conditions and soils. Drainage concerns should be considered when they appear alongside movement, cracks or crawl-space moisture.
How is foundation repair cost determined?
Cost follows the repair scope. The affected area, repair method, access, engineering, permits and site conditions can all influence the total.
