Choosing to repair your foundation is a significant decision that can safeguard the structural integrity of your home and prevent further damage. Understanding when a foundation repair is necessary, why hiring an experienced contractor is crucial, and how Legacy General Construction approaches foundation repair can guide you in making informed choices for your home’s stability.
When is Foundation Repair Necessary?
Foundation issues can manifest in various ways, including cracks in walls or floors, doors and windows that no longer close properly, or uneven floors. It’s crucial to address these signs promptly, as they can indicate underlying foundation problems such as settlement, heaving, or soil instability. Foundation repair becomes necessary when:
Cracks appear
Cracks in the foundation, walls, or floors, especially those wider than 1/4 inch, suggest structural issues that require professional assessment and repair.
Doors and windows stick
Difficulty opening or closing doors and windows may indicate shifts in the foundation, affecting the alignment of the frames.
Sagging or uneven floors
Uneven or sloping floors may signal settlement or sinking of the foundation, posing risks to the structural integrity of the home.
Water infiltration
Water intrusion through the foundation can lead to erosion, weakening the foundation over time and necessitating repairs to prevent further damage.
Visible foundation damage
Visible signs of foundation damage, such as bowing walls or crumbling concrete, require immediate attention to prevent further deterioration and potential structural failure.

Problems Solved with Foundation Repair
Foundation repair can address a variety of issues affecting your home’s stability and safety. Here are some common problems solved with foundation repair:
Foundation Settlement
Foundation settlement occurs when the soil beneath the foundation compresses or shifts, causing the foundation to sink or settle unevenly. Foundation repair techniques such as helical piers or push piers can stabilize the foundation and prevent further settlement.
Foundation Cracks
Cracks in the foundation can result from soil movement, water infiltration, or structural issues. Foundation repair methods such as epoxy injections or carbon fiber reinforcement can repair cracks and restore the structural integrity of the foundation.
Bowing or Buckling Walls
Bowing or buckling walls are signs of foundation movement or structural instability. Carbon fiber reinforcement or wall anchors can stabilize bowing walls and prevent further damage.
Water Intrusion
Water infiltration through foundation cracks or gaps can lead to moisture issues, mold growth, and structural damage. Foundation repair methods such as waterproofing coatings or drainage systems can prevent water intrusion and protect the foundation from damage.
Uneven Floors
Uneven floors can indicate foundation settlement, soil erosion, or structural issues. Foundation repair techniques such as slab leveling or pier installation can lift and stabilize the foundation, restoring the floors to their original level.
