Common questions

When is a foundation crack serious?

A hairline vertical crack is usually shrinkage and not urgent. A horizontal crack, a stair-step crack in a block wall, or any crack wider than a quarter inch means the wall is moving and it should be inspected before it grows.

Do I need a permit for foundation repair?

Yes for anything structural: wall anchors, carbon fiber, piering, and interior drain tile all require a permit under the Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code and most other state codes. The contractor pulls the permit as part of their scope, so you sign nothing. Crack injection alone is usually treated as a repair and not permitted.

Will homeowner's insurance cover foundation repair?

Almost never for gradual settlement or normal soil movement, which are the two most common causes. Insurance typically covers sudden events like a burst pipe or a vehicle strike. Read the policy for the specific exclusion wording before assuming coverage.

How long does the work take?

Most repairs are one to three days on site. Interior drain tile and encapsulation take a day per section. Piering runs one to three days depending on how many piers and whether the ground is frozen. Curing time on epoxy or grout adds a day or two before backfill.
