F.A.Q. (Frequently Asked Questions)

What are common signs that I have foundation problems?

Common signs of foundation problems are:

Cracks above your doors and windows and/ or your doors and windows become harder to open and close at different times of the year.

Also if there are obvious slopes in your floor(s).

Cracks in your bricks that follow a stair-step pattern are usually a sure sign that you need work done to your foundation.

Washed out spots under your foundation that leave your foundation exposed are typically bad.

I think I have foundation problems. Is it serious?

Yes, it is serious! Foundation problems will only get worse over time causing more damage and costing more time and money! The time to fix your foundation is now while it can still be handled for a reasonable price. After all, if your foundation isn't solid then none of the rest of your house can be either!

Can I sell my house even if I have foundation problems?

Yes and no. Yes you can sell your house if it has foundation problems as long as the buyer pays cash for the house and agrees to buy it even with the problems. Typically the only people that can afford to buy a home with unfixed foundation problems and pay cash for it are investors. They usually will NOT give you the price you want for your house.

However, most mortgage companies will NOT lend on a house that has foundation problems until they have been fixed. They don't see it as a safe investment for them or for the buyer. MBR has a program where you can fund at closing* (or pay when you sell the house.)

(*Certain conditions apply.)

Is there a better time of the year to fix foundation problems?

No, not really. The best time to fix foundation problems is as soon as possible. In other words...NOW!!!

How long should I wait after having my foundation fixed to make other repairs to my home?

We typically recommend that you wait 30 days after we complete the foundation repairs on your home before beginning any other repairs on your home (sheetrock repair, cracks in walls and brick, windows, doors, room additions, remodeling, paint, or flooring, etc.)

Should I remodel my home before or after fixing my foundation?

Refer to the last question. First fix your foundation...then remodel your home.
