FAQs

If my porch has previously been repaired, is it at risk of sinking again?  

If your porch was repaired using comprehensive methods that addressed the root causes of the sinking, the risks are minimized. However, external factors like severe weather conditions, new tree growth, or significant changes in soil moisture can still pose risks. It’s always a good idea to have periodic inspections, even after repairs.

How often should I inspect my porch for signs of sinking?  

It’s advisable to conduct a visual inspection of your porch at least twice a year, preferably during spring and fall. Changes in seasons, especially with freeze-thaw cycles, can exacerbate underlying issues. Regular checks can help you spot early signs and take preventative action.
