Are you having your home’s foundation repaired and need a few tips to help you prepare? Even though most of the work will be handled by the contractors, there are still a few things you can do to make the process move faster. Whether it’s a small or large project, here are some tips to help you prepare for a successful foundation repair in Hattiesburg MS.
Schedule a Foundation Inspection
Schedule an inspection to determine the source of the damage and your options for repair. It’s possible that you only need to fill a minor concrete crack, or you may need to have your entire foundation lifted. While anyone can walk a house and see hairline cracks and expanding cracks, it takes a professional inspector to know what’s causing the problem and how to fix it. Once the inspection is complete, you can work with any foundation repair company to solve the problem.
Prepare Your Landscaping
It’s possible that you’ll need to remove plants and shrubs from your property, depending on the work that needs to be done. Fortunately, polyurethane foam injections do not require the equipment and machinery that mudjacking does. Still, if you have landscaping that you do not want ruined, you’ll have to consider removing the plants or calling out a landscaping service to do it for you.
Give the Team Room to Move
It’s important that your foundation repair team has access to all parts of the property, including the fences and gates. It’s not uncommon for our teams to experience roadblocks, such as cars, garbage, furniture, storage items and landscaping obstructions while working. Unfortunately, these physical roadblocks slow down the project and can put your belongings in danger. Keep the working areas free and clear so that your team can complete your project safer and faster.
