If you're a property owner and also have your concrete slabA� foundation inspected byA� a repair contractor, or even better, a completely independent professional structural engineer with foundation repair experience, you are probably getting an elevation report made by 1 of 2 tools:
AA� Compu Level (or Ziplevel),A�or a manometer.A� When I had my foundationA� inspection done, the engineer used a Compu Level.A� I received an inspection report that detailed several variances in elevation from one end of the slab towards the other. As an example, there is a 2-3 inch drop in a corner with the house when compared for the center in the slab.
What perform the numbers mean?
Good to know, I guess. But in practical terms, what do those numbers alone really tell you? Unless you have a very benchmark of some sort to match the readings against, not just a whole lot.A� Do I have the elevation readings when the slab was initially built? No.
Do useful source know for many how the foundation was exactly level in the event the house was initially built (over 30 years ago?)A� No.A� So do variations in elevation today mean I have serious foundation movement?A� Not necessarily.A� I may do not have a level foundation to start with.
So don't allow a basis repair company stop by, string their little tubes everywhere in the house, then try to sell which you repair job based only on alterations in elevation on your slab.A� It just might be a dog and pony show.
However in case your house also shows the well-known signs and symptoms of foundation distress: windows and doors which don't enter and exit right, diagonal cracks in the walls (inside and out), cracks near door frames and window frames, separations between walls and frames and the like, then you do have a reason being worried.A� All of those signs point to a twisting from the framework in the walls and might indeed be a result of foundation movement.
Don't be Mislead
Just do not let anyone inform you that readings from a Compu Level, Ziplevel, or manometer include the only "evidence" that you need a pricey foundation repair job done in your home.
