Foundation 1 offers free inspections to all homeowners and business owners.
Foundation repair can be tricky to determine what is needed. At Foundation 1, we offer free inspections where we assess the damage and determine if professional repair is needed.
The most obvious sign for a homeowner is often cracked sheetrock around door and window frames on the interior, and windows and doors that don’t fully close or lock. On the exterior of the home, the best indications are “stair step” cracks in brick lines, separation of caulk from edges of a window or doorframe, and a brick freeze that has separated where brick walls meet the soffit.
There are many things that cause foundation damage. A few that we check for during our free inspection are the soil conditions, drainage systems in place, and hydrostatic pressure.
Interior waterproofing is fairly inexpensive and is faster to install.
French drainage systems are systems that guide excess groundwater away from your home’s foundation through a perforated pipe.
This depends on the scope and severity of what we are looking at. On average you can expect an hour, with less time for mudjacking or exterior drainage and more time for foundation evaluations. Consultants email project bids typically within 24 hours.
Foundation 1 carries a 2 million dollar liability coverage, workers compensation on employees, and is licensed in both Kansas and Missouri.
