Why Does My Home Need to be Retrofitted?

House-boltingHomes foundation is the main support and back bone for the rest of the house. If it is not level, intact, and properly bolted, it can result in many problems, such as, floor sagging or sloping, an entire part of the house to sag, and can cause cracks and fissures both cosmetically and structurally. The best thing you can do is have your foundation retrofitted BEFORE any damage occurs, once the foundation has been compromised, it can be a costly and  cumbersome problem to fix.
