Is every foundation crack a problem?
No. Thin vertical or slightly diagonal shrinkage cracks in poured concrete are common and are often cosmetic. Cracks that leak, keep widening, run horizontally, follow a stair-step pattern in block walls, or have one side offset from the other deserve an assessment. Our blog has a full guide to crack types.
Should I waterproof from the inside or the outside?
Interior drainage with a sump pump manages water that reaches the wall. It is usually less disruptive and costs less. Exterior excavation with a membrane and new weeping tile stops water at the source, but it means digging around the house. The right choice depends on access, how much water you get, and the state of your existing drainage.
How much does foundation repair cost?
It varies a lot. Injecting one crack is a small job, while underpinning or full exterior waterproofing is a major project that can reach five figures. The price depends on the method, the length of wall or number of piers, excavation depth and access, soil conditions, permits, and what has to be restored afterward. The only reliable number is a written quote after an on-site assessment.
What is the difference between helical piers and push piers?
Both carry the weight of the house down to deeper, more stable soil or bedrock. Push piers are driven hydraulically using the weight of the structure, which suits heavier buildings. Helical piers are screwed in with torque and suit lighter structures, porches, additions and new footings. The choice depends on the load and the soil.
