When you find yourself in need of a foundation repair service, it can be a very stressful time. Not every foundation repair service is the same, so make sure you do your research before hiring anyone. Keep reading for the top three tips for hiring a foundation repair service.
First, make sure the company offers a lifetime warranty. Be careful here because if they say they have a transferable lifetime warranty, it is a gimmick and does not mean the warranty stays with the house no matter who owns it.
Second, find a structural engineer. Most cities require having a structural engineer either approve or create a repair plan. It is common for evaluators to recommend you call an engineer, especially in complex situations to give you peace of mind they are working on your behalf.
