Controlling the movement of your foundation can be relatively simple, however, the method in which governs the future stability needs to be determined. Lets take a look at a few things:
- How old is your structure?
- What type of foundation do you have? Concrete slab, pier & beam with continuous concrete beams, or pier & beam with individual supports.
- Where is your structure located?
- What is the repair history of the structure? Include all plumbing, room additions, previous foundation repair and site drainage amendments.
- What is the repair history of your neighbors and city utilities?
- When did you discover the current problem?
Focus on the areas you can control such as site drainage, irrigation and plumbing management.
