Frequently Asked Questions
Why do Decatur homes experience foundation damage?
Decatur’s clay-rich soil expands and contracts with moisture, placing pressure on home foundations. Over time, this movement can cause cracking, settling, or uneven floors—especially during wet or dry seasons.
How long does a typical repair take in Decatur?
Most repairs take 1 to 3 days, depending on the severity of the damage. During your free inspection, we provide a custom timeline so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
Do I need a permit for foundation repair in Decatur?
Yes, permits are required for structural work. APS handles all permitting in Decatur, ensuring your project complies with local codes and inspection requirements.
Does a warranty back repairs in Decatur?
Yes. Many solutions, including crawl space and slab repair, come with lifetime transferable warranties—offering long-term peace of mind for Decatur homeowners.
How do tree roots impact foundation stability?
Tree roots can affect foundations by drawing moisture out of the soil, causing it to shrink and settle unevenly. In other cases, roots can grow close to or under the foundation, displacing soil and exerting pressure that leads to cracks, shifting, or uneven floors. Proper tree placement and root barriers help reduce risks.
What is the difference between slab foundation repair and basement foundation repair?
Slab foundation repair typically involves stabilizing or lifting the concrete slab with piers, slabjacking, or polyurethane foam injection.
Basement foundation repair often requires reinforcing or straightening walls with anchors, braces, or carbon fiber strips, along with waterproofing to manage leaks.
The main difference is that basements require both structural reinforcement and water management, while slabs focus more on lifting and soil stabilization.
Do pier and beam foundations need different repairs than concrete slab foundations?
Yes. Pier and beam foundations usually require adjusting, repairing, or replacing piers and beams, as well as fixing crawl space supports. Concrete slab foundations are repaired with methods like piers, mudjacking, or foam injection. While both aim to stabilize the home, the techniques differ based on the foundation design.
