Moving Through the Foundation Repair Process

Sep 7, 2015

If you (like millions of homeowners throughout Canada) have to deal with foundation repair issues, you’re going to need to make sure that you are staying as proactive as possible and working through the project in a systematic way.

This is the kind of repair project that is going to quite literally make or break whether or not your home continues to stand for the next few decades, and isn’t exactly the kind of work or project that you – or the people that you hire – can afford to take lightly.

Here are a couple of basics that you want to cover when it comes to the foundation repair process.

Finding the right foundation repair company

The very first thing that you’re going to want to do is make sure that you are always working with the right foundation repair company.

The best professionals in the area, like The Crack Doctor, are going to have an established track record for successful repairs, a community relationship and reputation that can be trusted, and experienced employees to know exactly what they’re doing.

You are definitely going to want to spend at least a few days researching your options before you pull the trigger on one particular service and will forward with the project.

Assessing the situation, the damage, and the risk factors

Once you have selected the right foundation repair company, then (and only then) is it time to fully assess the project at hand.

These experts are usually going to dig out around your foundation (or jump into the basement) to perfectly assess the situation, the damage, and all risk factors that need to be addressed. Once they have created their assessment, they’ll be able to build a custom repair plan that makes the most sense for your specific needs.

Moving forward with the right foundation repair solutions

Lastly, you’re going to want to verify that the approach that your foundation repair professionals recommend is the right move for you. You’re going to want to make sure that the lines of communication stay open with your foundation repair contractor, you’re going to want to research their recommended solutions on your own, and then you’re going to want to move forward with a clearly defined project that includes deadlines, milestones, and regular updates.

This is the only way to make sure that the work is taken care of correctly the first time around, on time and on budget.
