Will Foundation Repair Damage My Older Home? Southwest Marietta, GA

Foundation issues can be a significant concern for homeowners when it comes to maintaining an older home. Cracks in walls, uneven floors and stuck doors are all signs that your home’s foundation may be settling or shifting. While the need for foundation repair can be alarming, many homeowners worry about the potential damage that the repair process itself might cause to their cherished older home.

Anglin’s Foundation & Masonry Repairs in Atlanta addresses these concerns and provides insights into foundation repair and its impact on older homes.

Understanding Foundation Issues

Before discussing repairs, it’s essential to understand what causes foundation problems. Factors such as soil movement, moisture changes and the aging process of the home can lead to various structural issues. In older homes, these issues may be exacerbated by outdated construction practices and materials, making timely repairs critical to preserving the integrity of the home.

The Foundation Repair Process

Foundation repair typically involves several methods, including:

  • Piering: This method uses piers (pilings) to stabilize the foundation. It may require excavation but is designed to lift the foundation back to its original level.
  • Slabjacking: This technique involves injecting a mixture under the concrete slab to raise and support it, effectively filling voids caused by soil erosion.
  • Wall Bracing: This procedure strengthens bowing walls and can involve adding braces or anchors to support the structure.

Will Repairing the Foundation Damage My Home?

The primary concern when determining if your home needs a foundation repair is contracting with a reputable, licensed and experienced foundation repair contractor. A qualified foundation repair specialist from Anglin’s Foundation & Masonry Repairs will assess your home and recommend the most suitable method for repair. This assessment takes into consideration the home’s age and construction style, helping to ensure that the selected method will not compromise the structure.

Most modern foundation repair techniques are designed to be minimally invasive. Our experienced contractors take great care in performing repairs, ensuring that the existing structure is not stressed further during the process.

Tammy S.

From start to finish, everyone at Anglin's was amazing! Gus was responsive, always answered his phone, knowledgeable, professional, honest and fair. He went above and beyond to make a stressful situation less stressful. Scheduling was a breeze and the crew that arrived on the job (on time, I might add) were courteous, respectful and efficient. They allowed me to watch and take pictures, and explained the process step-by-step, as well as what results were to be expected. Iggy was so knowledgeable, professional and amazing. He was able to pin point a problem that 2 other competing companies couldn't explain or relay in layman's terms what needed to be done and why. He was an absolute superstar in easing the mind of the buyers purchasing the house. His 27 years experience was so valuable. Shelly was quick to send paid invoices and warranty information. Everyone did an amazing job and I would recommend them highly.

Penelope Greensmith

I cannot say enough good things about GUS at Anglin’s Foundation and Masonry! GUS, was fast and gave a free estimate on raising, reattaching and fixing my brick stairs. I will be sure to post before and after photos! Thank you GUS for your no nonsense, straight forward approach! Thank you for listening to me! The Greensmith’s

Regina Renee Kalasz

Today was a install of a 2nd beam for our house... first one was easy, 2nd one gave them a run for their money. But they stuck it out and got it done! Awesome work! I'd throw a + behind my 5 stars if I could. Sorry I held your crew up, but they were determined to get it done with no issues. So shout out to your team Chris, Leo and Dan!

Scott Lapin

The team that lifted our chimney was prompt, courteous and efficient. Other then the repair, you simply could not tell they were even there despite the fact they had to remove part of our deck to do the work. I would HIGHLY recommend them.

Melissa Reed

Diagnosis and estimate from a picture, arrived as scheduled, done in just a couple hours and results were absolutely amazing. Price, workmanship, clean up - everything was absolutely 5 star!! Highly recommend these folks!!! I must add, 2 other well known and much advertised companies came out and estimated 6x the work and price, claiming we had more issues than what was actually going on. These guys call it like it is - honesty and integrity are hard to find in construction.

Dana Brennan

This crew is top notch. Worked with the office and mainly with Gus on site who was great. Showed up early, super knowledgeable, tons of experience. We really felt served in the way he recommended only what needed to be done and at a great price. Had another company wanting to add in other extras and unnecessary work. HIGHLY recommend Anglin!!

Aaron Gray

Quick to call back and totally honest. I wasn't sure if I had a foundation issue or a flooring issue but after a few questions, Nathan helped to figure out that it thankfully wasn't a foundation issue. Insteand of trying to sell me a job, Nathan helped me to make a good decision. I hope I never have foundation issues but if I do, this is the company I'm hiring.

Jake Herman

Another masonry contractor referred us to Anglin because we had a concern about the structural integrity of our chimneys. We were told that they were the best people to talk to. I called them and they actually came by to assess my house within two hours. Although I was fully prepared to spend a lot of money to stabilize my chimneys, he did a full assessment and very honestly told me that my chimneys were fine and just needed some caulking where the mortar met the brick. I greatly respect his expertise and honesty and would recommend him without reservation.
