When to call a foundation repair professional

Not all inspections conclude with a quote. But better safe than sorry. Addressing small damage may prevent expensive and invasive repairs in the future.

If you notice the following:

• Cracks in slab, basement, walls and ceilings that widen over time
• Separations around windows and doors; some hinder operation
• Leaks, dampness or mold in basement or crawl spaces
• Gaps or bulges in baseboards or crown molding
• Floors that shift or feel “a little off”
• Soil erosion around the foundation
• Any sudden changes around the home

Inspection are always free of charge. Jack knows foundation work and will only recommend what is absolutely necessary.

How long do repair services take?

That depends on the extent of the repairs, weather conditions and other improvements necessary to restore your property to good condition.

While pier-and-beam foundations are accessible through crawl spaces, concrete slab repair involves tunneling under your home for proper leveling and support pier placement. This process typically takes more time and is more labor intensive. Digging to access the underside of a concrete foundation requires special care to prevent damage to the home’s existing water, gas and sewer lines.

Can you make payments?

While we do not have a direct payment plan program, ACFR is partnered with GreenSky – A trade-centric third-party financial institution that gives homeowners access to loans. If you need to get financing, we can help you through the application process. Just ask Jack.
