Question 3

Can I postpone foundation repairs after I know what the problem is?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can in most cases. In general, the sooner the repairs are completed, the cheaper and better results you will have. Sometimes, conditions can worsen causing damage in greater proportion to time that has elapsed. It is generally understood that by the time you notice a foundation issue that requires repair, you can expect to spend $2.00-$5.00 for every dollar you spend on the foundation repair, above or on other repairs caused by foundation damage. At some point the damage could cause instability in the roof trusses. Doors and windows could eventually become inoperable and the home can be condemned by the City.
