Question 1

What's the address and how do you access the property?

Accepted Answer

Have the full street address ready and any access notes — gate codes, intercom, parking instructions, or whether someone needs to let the pro in.

Question 2

When did the issue start, and what have you already tried?

Accepted Answer

A short timeline + any DIY fixes you've attempted helps the pro diagnose faster and avoid duplicating work.

Question 3

Can you send a photo or short video?

Accepted Answer

Most pros ask for one before quoting. A clear photo of the problem area saves a callout fee for an estimate visit.

Question 4

What's your rough budget and timeline?

Accepted Answer

Knowing your ballpark and how soon you need the work done helps the pro tell you upfront whether they're the right fit.

Question 5

Will you be on site, or someone else?

Accepted Answer

Tell the pro who'll meet them, their phone number, and whether they can authorise additional work if something unexpected comes up.

Question 8

What is a Pier underpinning?

Accepted Answer

A foundation repair technique that stabilizes and lifts a settling or sinking structure by installing deep supports (piers) that transfer the building's load from unstable surface soil to stable bedrock or load-bearing strata below. Two main types: push piers (hydraulically driven steel tubes, $1,500–$3,000 per pier) that react against the building's weight to reach bedrock, and helical piers (screw-in steel shafts, $1,200–$2,500 per pier) that derive capacity from helical plates engaging stable soil. A typical residential repair requires 6–12 piers at 6–8 ft spacing along the affected section, totaling $10,000–$35,000. The process: excavate around the foundation footing, install brackets, drive piers to refusal or predetermined depth, then hydraulically lift the structure to as close to original position as possible. Most pier manufacturers offer 25-year to lifetime transferable warranties. A structural engineer's report ($300–$800) should always precede pier installation to confirm the repair plan is appropriate.

Question 9

What is a Foundation pier?

Accepted Answer

A structural support driven or drilled deep into stable soil or bedrock to lift and stabilize a settling foundation. Two main types: push piers (hydraulically driven steel tubes using the building's weight as resistance, reaching 20–100+ feet to bedrock; $1,000–$2,500 per pier installed) and helical piers (screw-shaped shafts rotated into soil to a specified torque; $1,500–$3,000 per pier; preferred for lighter structures or where push piers lack sufficient building weight). A typical foundation repair requires 6–12 piers spaced 5–8 feet apart along the affected wall. Piers can lift a foundation back to near-original level (within ¼ inch in many cases). Installation is minimally invasive — small holes are excavated at each pier location, work can often be completed in 1–3 days, and most systems carry 25-year to lifetime transferable warranties. Key indicators you need piers: stair-step cracks in brick/block walls, doors/windows sticking, visible floor slope exceeding 1 inch per 15 feet, or gaps between walls and ceiling/floor.
