Foundation Technology, A Guide to What Goes on Beneath Your Feet, 3rd Edition

Foundation Repair has been around as long as there have been foundations—which date back to the Bronze Age. Not a lot of new technology has been applied to foundation repair until recently. Almost every aspect of your foundation can be improved, repaired, and restored. Now is the time for your home to rest on a solid foundation. This book brings you the collective wisdom of thousands of residential foundation repair experts and hundreds of thousands of jobs completed. This is not a do-it-yourself book because foundation repair is not a do-it-yourself job. It’s dangerous, intricate work that takes specialized knowledge, skill, and equipment. The purpose of this book is to give you the knowledge to make an educated decision on what work needs to be done to your home, who to work with, what solutions are available to you, and why.
