Thank the LORD I’ve only lived in rental homes and haven’t had to deal with foundation problems which plague my sister who owns her home As well as my mother n law. Although even though my sister has had foundation problems my mother in law hasn’t so far. I’ve seen the way the contractors have treated my sister and her family saying the job was done and not even a year later she is having the same problems over and over.
Not knowing anything about foundation work and having to hire another contractor I wanted to make sure she had the information she needed so the new contractor wouldn’t take advantage of her like the last one did.
