How to Be Prepared for Foundation Repairs
Here are some of our biggest things that you need to think about before pulling the trigger on a foundation repair job on your Earlville, NY based home.
Schedule an Inspection Before You Make a Final Decision
If you are starting to have problems closing your doors or windows, or have begun to notice pooling water around your home after it rains, then it is possible that you have some foundation issues that are in need of repairs. Foundation problems are a massive risk for the well-being of your home, so it will be in your best interest to get in touch with a local repair company such as Dwayne James General Contracting to schedule an inspection.
Bear in mind, this doesn’t have to be the company you choose to hire, but an inspection of your home is an excellent way to determine the extent of the damage and find out the root of the problem and how much the repair will cost.
Think About Your Landscape
If your problem calls for mainly exterior work, you will want to prepare your landscaping for the job that ensues. Don’t add any new landscaping or even plan for new plants to be installed until after the foundation repair crew is packed up and completed the job.
Before the foundation repair begins you will want to:
-
Move when possible any plants away from your home
-
Remove all items from the perimeter of the job
-
Clear pathways to your home
-
Remove cars from the driveway
Have a Possible Relocation Plan In Place
Foundation repair can be a noisy and admittedly intrusive construction project. And for your family’s safety and comfort, you should consider looking into temporary relocation while the repair work is being done on your home.
