Who can repair an old Garage that is leaning b/c of a cracked foundation?
Question:Dallas TX-
I just bought a house and I want to have the 50 year old garage brought back into plumb. The garage is leaning approx 1 1/2 inches to the right side. This side has a broken foundation that is causing the lean.
What kind of repairmen should I seek to fix this problem? The roof needs to be raised and cranked into place with a comealong. Then either the foundation needs to be fixed or simply wood/metal needs to be placed to raise the broken side.-Thanks
Answers:
This sounds like a pretty straightforward repair. Contact a slab jackiing contractor to take a look for you. What you need ot have done is an epoxy resin repair of the cracked foundation after you get it jacked back in place.
The slab jackers use a clay product and a group of jacks to help raise the concrete back into place. Once they move the foundation back in place then they can fix the concrete cracks and if they don't know how to repair or move the roof/ceiling they will be able to recommend someone.
This is going to be far less expnsive thatn starting over, and it should be relativley unnoticeable when completed. Good luck.
You need a repair man that will raze it. Don't try to use what's left and straighten it up, your just looking for more misery.
