Some of the common signs of foundation problems are bowed walls, gaps around windows and frames, sticking doors and cracked sheetrock, uneven floors, and uneven surfaces. Cracking bricks and mortar of your structure, as well as the mortar that forms vertically or horizontally. These cracks are signs that your foundation is failing. Cracks in foundation walls usually appear around the weakest points, such as corners, edges of windows frames, openings to service (such as HVAC systems), concrete cold joints, long spans, pipe penetration, and along the tie rods.

Water can often seep into foundations for many reasons. This can lead to serious consequences such as wood rot, mold, concrete and rebar deterioration, and many other problems.

This also means that your most valuable investment, your home, will not suffer any damage.

At Affordable Foundation Repair, our foundation contractors do everything they can to ensure that the landscaping is left unaffected. If trees or shrubbery are in direct excavations, they may need to be removed in order for repair work to take place. After the repair is complete, it is important to remove and carefully replant the plants. We cannot guarantee that trees or plants will survive excavation.

Past performance is the best indicator of future performance. The foundation will move if it has already moved. The earlier repairs are made, the more durable they will be for future buyers.

The average Florida and Georigafoundation repair job should take only one to two days. However, this will depend on the extent of the work involved and the damage.

There is no way to predict future performance, but past performance is. Few homes experience structural failure. But that’s not usually the issue; serviceability failure functionality is often the most serious issue that can affect a home’s value and livability.

While foundation repairs may close existing cracks, there is also the possibility of opening up new ones. We always strive to minimize damage and keep your home as original as possible.

We have often seen little to no decrease in value if the foundation repairs were done according to the engineer’s recommendations.

It is often believed that the foundation must “settle” and should not be moved after repairs have been completed. The foundation behind the sheetrock might need to adjust to its new location for a brief time. If you don’t have time to wait, it may be worth waiting a few weeks before you start cosmetic repairs. It may be necessary to make minor cosmetic adjustments if you’re selling your house and want to immediately do cosmetic repairs.

There are many factors that influence the cost of repairing a foundation. After evaluating many factors, the final cost of repairing a foundation is determined. These are the main ones:

• Type of foundation: Certain foundations are more difficult to repair than others. Concrete foundations are much easier to repair than brick and stone foundations.
• The extent and size of the damage: Repairing more severe damage is more costly.
• Accessibility for repair contractor and equipment: Accessibility for equipment and repair crews is important. It will make it more difficult to repair the damage, which will raise repair costs.

Nearly all insurance policies include an “earth movement” clause that excludes foundation damage due to earth movement. If you can show that an event caused sudden and severe damage, then your claim may be approved. You might be able to get your claim paid if you can prove that there was a sudden and catastrophic event, such as a pipe burst or flood. It is worth establishing a baseline report on your home for insurance purposes in case of an unfortunate event.
