Are Foundation Repairs Worth It?

Nobody likes home improvement projects done out of necessity, we’d all prefer a new kitchen, or patio, rather than fixing something we rarely see. Unfortunately, when your home’s foundation is failing, if left untreated it can leave the home in an unlivable condition.

If you are getting quotes on repairing your foundation, you may be wondering if it’s worth the investment, well the short answer is yes, Foundation repairs are worth it. Whether you are looking to sell your home, or live in it for years to come, fixing your foundation will prevent future damage and prevent your home’s value from tanking.

If you are going to sell your home, you may be thinking you will hold off on repairs until then. While this is an option, repairing a foundation properly also prevents future movement, which will ensure that additional damage won’t occur in between now and when you go to sell. Additionally, anyone buying the home will ask for a huge cut in price if the repairs are left untreated. So whether you pay to have the repairs done, you will pay for it in other ways regardless.

If you are planning on living in your home for years to come, the security and prevention of future damage are of utmost importance. Catching foundation damage early usually results in a cheaper and easier repair.

Now there are some cases where they may be minor foundation damage, and you could conceivable “patch and monitor” to see if the damage continues. Many companies may always try to scare you into a repair, by always telling you how severe the damage is, but at Liftech we are always honest with our customers about whether a repair is really needed. So if you are wondering if this PARTICULAR foundation repair is worth it, call Liftech or any other reputable companies in your area, and we can give you an idea of whether your home really needs serious foundation repair.
