What is the difference between a foundation repair and foundation leveling? To repair a foundation implies that the foundation is broken Assume you have a concrete slab on grade foundation and you see a lot of cracks throughout your house
- Does Foundation Repair Really Reach Bedrock? | A-1 . . . - A-1 Engineering
Having a slab foundation “repaired” implies that it was broken and now it is now repaired Leveling a foundation should be considered just that, leveling The system that is used to level the foundation is still subjected to soil movement
- Most foundation repair | A-1 Engineering

- Pier and Beam Foundations | A-1 Engineering
Most pier and beam foundations that have leveling issues are a result of the piers decaying and settling as a result of less wood mass As the wood decays, the decayed area of the wood become soft and creates a void between the soils and solid internal wood
- City Permits - Yes they are worth getting!! - A-1 Engineering

- Foundation Repair Estimate VS Structural Engineers Assessment
As an informed consumer, understand that lifting a foundation to provide you a level floor is simply that, a leveling job; it is not a method of foundation stabilization This means that the foundation is still susceptible to movement
