Foundation Repair

Home repairs are not cheap.  High quality foundation repairs are definitely not cheap.  So you may wonder: is it really worth investing serious cash into something that may not be visible?   Absolutely, yes it is.   I know this may sound like a self-serving answer, given that I work for Acculevel, a family-owned and operated company […]

When you are trying to sell your home, you may be asked to have the foundation assessed by a professional contractor.  These recommendations are often made by home inspectors who have noted irregularities in the home, or realtors representing the potential home buyers.

When you find cracks, or signs of damage within your foundation, you worry how serious the damage is, what repairs are needed, and how you're going to pay for those repairs.  It seems logical that your homeowners insurance would cover part (or all!) of the repair costs, but I’m sorry to say that’s not usually […]

When you find a crack in your foundation, you probably have one of two basic reactions.  Either you panic that your home is no longer stable, or you shrug it off as routine settling.  I’d suggest avoiding these extremes, and aim for the grey area between them; foundation cracks shouldn’t be ignored, but they’re not […]
