Foundation Contractor FAQs

The process of pouring a new foundation or requiring foundation contractor can generate a lot of different questions. Our slab repair team has answered a few of common questions below:

What are additional problems associated with foundation damage?

Foundation failure often causes other problems around the house. From the list of signs above, you can see a cracked slab, failing foundation can cause problems with interior walls, doors, and floors. Not only do these parts of your home require repairs, but your plumbing does too. As the foundation shifts, the plumbing may shift with it creating leaks or busted pipes. These are issues you want to address as soon as the foundation is repaired.

How long does foundation repair take?

Foundation repairs may take a day or several. It really comes down to the extent of the damage and what types of repairs must be made to the foundation. We can provide you with an accurate estimate once we know what the cause is.

Is foundation watering helpful?

Watering your foundation can help you keep the soil from extreme contraction during hot and dry conditions, which happens as it dries out. Your foundation is likely to sustain some damage when soil contracts to an unhealthy level, so watering the soil can prevent that from occurring.

Does my homeowners’ insurance cover foundation repairs?

This depends on your insurance policy. Some insurance policies may cover foundation damages like cracked slab while others may not. To be sure, contact your provider and ask them about your policy.

How long does it take for a concrete foundation to cure?

It takes about 28 days for a concrete foundation to cure fully. Of course, this time can be impacted by the climate, the type of cement within the mixture, and the amount of concrete. When our team is pouring your new foundation for your home, be sure to ask us for an estimate. We’ll provide you with an accurate time frame so we can finish the rest of the process.
