With foundation problems you are looking to either fix a problem or protect from future problems.
When you have an inspector take a look at the foundation of your home it is important that they truly understand your concerns and what your goals are.
Know your Options: The expert will then take a look at the structure and the earth around it to evaluate the situation and determine the best options for your home.
Understanding the value of each option is also important when making your decision on the best solution for you. The inspector will help explain and educate you on the different options and the purpose of each, showing you what is possible.
You can choose to fix the current problem or if necessary protect the structure from future movement.

Cost may include: labor and materials; movement of Air conditioning unit, porch, and walk ways; your personal time.
- Are you prepared to deal with any potential consequences if you choose to just fix your problem versus protecting from future problems?
- Is the biggest concern cost or Peace of Mind?
- Fix big or fix little
No crack is a good crack. A crack means there is movement.
