The most important thing a homeowner needs to do about this problem is remain vigilant and notice the signs that the repair is needed. If you do this and react on time, you’ll save yourself a lot of time, effort, and money. When it comes to the repair itself, there’s little to worry about or do.
Equipment Is Provided by Our Team
This isn’t a do-it-yourself type of repair and you shouldn’t even try to fix it on your own. The holes need to be drilled with special consideration for how the slab will be raised and you’ll need the proper equipment to install the foam. It’s therefore a project that needs to be left to the experts.
Homeowners often ask if they need to provide electricity or water supply to the job site. A lot of the time, the properties that need fixing aren’t in use and they are flip properties that aren’t yet ready to be sold until the work is completed. There’s no need to do any of that; our crew will bring and install their own equipment. All that you need to do is provide access to the property.
Removing the Furniture
Our team will need to have access to the floor and to drill holes into it, so it’s best to remove all the furniture from the area beforehand. That way, the work will start and be finished faster. It’s also useful if the furniture is stored away from the job site so that it doesn’t get dirty or damaged.
Our crew will be happy to help with carrying large pieces of furniture for you. We will also close up the holes needed for the installation. The cleaning is usually left to the homeowners themselves.
Make Sure You Notice Every Slant
In the end, it’s important to let our team know about any slant or imperfection that you’ve noticed. That way, the inspector can take into account the state of your property as a whole and advise you on what needs fixing right away and which repairs can be delayed.
Since it’s a once-in-a-lifetime kind of job, don’t hesitate to point out the small cracks and imperfections. That way, you can get the full picture of how damaged the soil beneath your home is. Homeowners are often surprised by how badly the soil has settled.
