Leave It Untreated
Damaged foundations that are left untreated can quickly become bigger, more expensive problems. Water can easily penetrate through foundation cracks which can ultimately lead to the growth of mold and encourage pest infestations. Beyond the obvious health concerns this can create, waiting to perform house foundation repairs can also lead to other structural damages and the devaluation of your home by as much as twenty-five percent.
Do-It-Yourself (DIY)
There are many homeowners who feel they can save money by addressing the issues in their home by themselves. However, improper installation of many foundation repair systems will not only fail to work properly, but also add to the cost of doing the actual repair. In fact, warranties on many of the waterproofing products and systems, used for foundation crack repairs and other structural repairs, are often voided if they are not installed by a certified specialist.
