Foundation Repair: Disrupting Your Life? Not So Fast!

Let’s face it, nobody wants to deal with foundation repair. It sounds messy, disruptive, and maybe even a little scary. You might be picturing jackhammers tearing up your floors, mountains of dirt piled in your yard, and weeks of living in a construction zone.

But hold on! Before you let those worries get the best of you, let’s take a deep breath and get real about foundation repair. At Steady House Foundation Repair, we believe in honesty and transparency. In this blog post, we’ll give you the lowdown on what to expect during the process, including the potential disruptions and how we work to minimize them.

Foundation Repair: Not as Scary as You Think

First things first, let’s bust some myths. Foundation repair isn’t always a massive undertaking. The extent of the disruption depends on several factors:

• The type of foundation: Slab foundations and pier and beam foundations require different methods, which can influence the level of disruption.
• The extent of the damage: A minor crack might require a simple repair, while more extensive damage might involve more invasive techniques.
• The chosen repair method: Different methods have varying levels of invasiveness. For example, push piers are typically less disruptive than excavating and replacing sections of your foundation.
• The accessibility of your foundation: If your foundation is easily accessible, the repair process will generally be less disruptive.

What to Expect During the Process

While every project is unique, here’s a general overview of what you can expect during foundation repair:

1. Inspection and Assessment: We’ll start with a thorough inspection to assess the damage and determine the best repair strategy.
2. Preparation: This might involve clearing the area around your foundation, moving landscaping or patio furniture, and potentially relocating some items inside your home if they’re near the affected area.
3. Repair Work: The actual work will vary depending on the chosen method. It might involve installing piers, injecting polyurethane foam, or repairing cracks.
4. Cleanup and Restoration: Once the repairs are complete, we’ll clean up the work area and restore your landscaping to its original condition as much as possible.
