Things to Know About
Concrete Foundation Repair
All the information you need to know about foundation repair methods.
Understanding the benefits of repairing your foundation is important. However, there’s more information to take into account other than merely the benefits of having this repair done. Below we will cover other important information like knowing why to repair, when to repair, and how the repair process works.
Why Repair Your Foundation?
Like many homeowners, you may have heard some horror stories about how costly a house foundation repair can be. The longer you wait, the worse the damage will become and require more extensive repairs. This isn’t always the case if you decide to have repairs made early on. Ignoring foundation damage can be quite dangerous and lead to foundation walls failing or, in extreme cases, a house collapse.
When to Repair Your Foundation
Foundation repair is necessary when your foundation is sinking, settling or cracking. When a house is first built it is expected to settle into its foundation slowly over time which should not cause any issues if constructed properly. Some important signs to watch out for when determining if your foundation needs to be repaired are cracks in sheetrock or concrete, hard-to-open doors or windows, and sagging walls or floors.

Q: How long does a foundation repair usually take?
A: Your average residential foundation repair will normally take roughly two to three days to complete. There are always variables that may cause a repair to take longer than this. This can include deeper than normal footings that will require additional excavation and restoration work after we’ve completed the repair. When your landscape is involved, it can take longer to prepare these areas for excavation and restore the landscaping after we’ve repaired the foundation as well.
Q: Will my landscaping be affected by the repair process?
A: We do our best not to disturb your landscaping; however, trees and shrubbery can sometimes be in the immediate path of the excavation. In those situations, we may have to remove specific trees and shrubs to reach the areas that necessitate repairs. Our talented professionals take great care when removing plants and carefully re-plant them when we’re finished. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee plants or trees will survive the excavation process.
Q: Is it necessary to repair the entire foundation?
A: This isn’t always necessary. We only make recommendations to repair areas that are in immediate need. In some cases, areas that aren’t repaired can still be susceptive to shifting as the house sits on the same soil that originally failed. We will usually only address or evaluate those areas if necessary. If these areas are in danger of causing future damage to your home, the entire foundation may need to be stabilized.
Q: How much will the foundation repair cost?
A: There are several factors that are involved in determining the cost of foundation repair. Some of these include the extent of the damages, how large the area in need of repairs is, and what method is best used to repair your foundation. The average price of foundation repair can range between $5,000 and $7,000. Keep in mind that this price can increase or decrease depending on these factors.
Q: How long should I wait after the repair to fix the cracks in my mortar or drywall?
A: We recommend that you wait at least 90 days before you make any cosmetic repairs after we complete the foundation repair. There is a possibility that the foundation will need to settle again once the repairs have been made. If you begin to observe any new sheetrock cracks, brick cracks or doors sticking within the 90 days you can always call us to come out and reevaluate your foundation before you make any repairs.
Q: Does watering really help prevent foundation problems and should I water if I have never had foundation repairs?
A: Watering the foundation is highly recommended year-round. This technique helps keep moisture in the soil and can greatly lessen foundation problems. It’s important for all of our customers to start a watering program once their foundation has been repaired to obtain the best possible results. Watering can be used as a preventative measure against foundation problems as well.
Q: How long does the evaluation take and do I need to be present?
A: Yes, you will need to present for the inspection as we will need to access the interior of your home to check for signs of foundation problems and to take elevation readings. This inspection will take around one to two hours to complete. Our professional inspector will first meet with you and then proceed to look for signs inside and outside of your home of foundation damage or settlement.
Q: Do you clean the property after the repair is completed?
A: Yes, we will never leave your property a mess. After all, repairs and excavations are completed, we will gather up all of the loose dirt from the excavations and make sure to properly dispose of it for you. Any mess our team makes will always be cleaned prior to us leaving your home.
