Slab Foundation Repair

There are different techniques that can be used to repair a slab foundation. What we need to do first though is figure out what the real issue with your slab foundation happens to be. There are certain companies out there that love to sound the alarm when they come in to do an inspection. With a few cracks they want to recommend some type of major repair. Our approach is completely different. We’ll give you a run down of the current state of your foundation. Then most of the time we’ll offer up different solutions. With pros and cons of each technique. So that you can get a better idea of where you are.

Signs That Your House Could Be Having A Problem

This is potentially the first thing that you’re going to want to look into. When we’re dealing with foundation issues a cracked floor is a clear sign that something’s up. If you realize that your doors don’t seem to close properly there could be something there as well. Again, noticing one of these issues isn’t necessarily going to lead to a major repair that needs to be done immediately. That being said, don’t ignore the signs and give us a call if you think that you could be dealing with an issue.         

Are Slab Repairs A Safe Option?

Recently there’s been some growing concerns when it comes to slab repairs.

That’s why we can’t just show up with a ton of shovels and say that we’re going to fix your foundation on the spot. This is a thought out process that naturally takes into account the challenges that drainage and other types of fixtures below the surface could bring to the table.

It can be hard to make the decision for sure. We can give you the pros and cons of each scenario so that you’ll be able to make an informed decision.
