A: Estimates are always free. After you call the office and set an appointment, an estimator will come to your home to do a comprehensive evaluation. He will draw (to scale) a footprint of your home, he will visually inspect the interior and exterior of the home, noting all signs of stress. He will then take conduct an elevation survey using a Technidea Ziplevel©. He can then combine all the information to determine if a repair plan is necessary. The entire evaluation can take 30 minutes to 1.0 hours.
A: NTX Foundation Repair always includes third party Professional Engineering reports before and after the work has been done. The engineer will confirm the repair plan and then certify the repairs are completed and the house has been repaired.
A: The average job takes 1-2 days. Depending on the scope of work, the time frame may be greater.
A: We will cause minimal damage to the landscaping. However, if a bush needs to be removed, every effort will be used to ensure its survival and this will be discussed with the owner before work begins.
A: Any time a slab foundation settles the plumbing pipes which are underneath and attached to the foundation can be damaged. They can also be damaged when you lift a house back towards its original position. Therefore, we always recommend a third-party Master Plumber to test the plumbing before and/or after a job is completed. The age of the home, type of plumbing and amount that the house has dropped all are contributing factors.
A: It is possible to do both. The goal of foundation repairs is to return the house to as near its original horizontal position as possible while trying to limit damage to the home.
Brick Cracks – the stair-step brick cracks that you typically see on houses where the foundation has failed will generally close up when you lift the slab back into place. There is no guarantee that the cracks will close because each home is different and there are other factors that have more to do with the construction of the home. Some small new drywall cracks or brick veneer cracks are more common.
A: Your wait will depend on how much the house has been lifted. The slab should not move after it has been lifted but the walls may need time to adjust to their new position. A general rule-of-thumb would be to wait 4-6 weeks after repairs are completed.
A: Yes, all methods used by NTX Foundation Repair are HUD, FHA & VA approved. When you are ready to sell your home, you will need to disclose the foundation repairs and show the third party Professional Engineering reports and warranty certificate to your buyers. Your Real Estate Professional can assist you with this process.
