If you have a foundation repair appointment on the horizon, it’s important for you to know what you signed up for. Here is your guide to what will happen before, during, and after the services:

• Before: Depending on the nature of your foundation damage, you may need to clear the perimeter of your home. Ask your foundation contractor whether or not they plan to perform drainage correction services. If so, you will need to transplant your landscaping into containers and clear off your porch or patio.
• During: For a full foundation lift, your contractor will dig tunnels under your home to access your beams and place pilings beneath them. They may also need to break through your garage floor or driveway to reach any supplementary beams. Additionally, your repair team will lift your air conditioner pads.
• After: Although the job is messy, your contractor will ensure that your home is fully restored after foundation repair services. They will repair any breakouts in your garage floor or driveway, and smooth out the soil around your home so you can re-plant your landscaping. Your foundation contractor will also monitor your home to make sure no additional foundational issues arise after the repairs.
