Foundation Repair Sub-Type Comparisons
Foundation Crack Repair vs Slab Foundation Repair
Surface crack injection stops water intrusion; structural slab repair (piers, leveling) addresses settlement, not just cracks.
Seismic Retrofitting / Soft-Story Retrofit vs Raised Foundation Repair
Seismic retrofits (sill-plate bolting, cripple-wall bracing) protect against earthquake damage; raised foundation repair addresses rotted sills and settlement.
