Leveling Process Takes Between 8-14 Days

Founded in 1986, A-Plus Foundation Repair Company has steadily built a strong reputation for groundbreaking foundation repair solutions coupled with an uncompromising level of quality and highly efficient customer support. Our process takes 8 to 14 days from signing the agreement to removing excess dirt. Here's how it works when you choose us for slab foundation leveling:

• We always start by hiring a third-party structural engineer to write out and send us his recommendation. (We follow his recommendation, not ours.) We use that report to apply for a City permit. The Permit Process can take from 1 to 3 days.
• We dig and drill the holes for concrete. Before we pour, the engineer comes back out to inspect the holes and check that we have the right type and number of rebar for each hole. This varies but usually takes 1 to 4 days.
• We pour the concrete, which then has to cure for a minimum of five days.
• Once the concrete has cured, we lift the home. We usually begin this process at around 8:00 AM. The owner or his/her representative needs to be present on the day we lift the home as we will be in and out of the home frequently, taking measurements as we lift the home.
• When the home is leveled as best as it can be, we inform the engineer that the work is complete. He/she schedules any required visits and prepares the final inspection report. If he approves the work, we back-fill the holes, patch exterior mortar brick cracks, and order both a leak test (by a licensed plumber) and order the removal of leftover dirt (by a CDL licensed trucker).

NOTE: We need ½ of your driveway to pile dirt on from the day we start until the day we lift the home or the day after when the excess dirt is removed. Also, we can be a little hard on bushes if they are in the way of a hole or have access to a hole. We do try to save them. We either cut them back (sometimes drastically) or remove them and put them in the dirt we’re storing on your driveway and hope they can be replanted when we are finished. Otherwise, with your approval, we remove them and have them hauled off either by the city or with the excess dirt.
