    I had my foundation repaired last summer and the area where my driveway ends and the garage entrance begins bent and cracked in sections like three feet from my garage entrance. I can't share a pick here but if I mention that I can no longer use a ladder to clean my gutters above the garage door, it may give you an idea of what happened, for those fortunate enough to never have had to fix their foundation. My situation is a little different than the entire driveway sinking as a whole as it is shown in this video. My question is, would this foam technique also work for my situation?

Do not let anyone try and sell you just steel, DOES NOT matter the grade, rust never sleeps, and below grade there is always moisture.

    I should have more clear information later today or tomorrow, but the back of my house is built right on the ground and my recent concern was the deeper and weaker dips on the first floor kitchen. My idea wast to open it up and add some cross beams to the existing, or at least what I am pretty sure are the existing three cross beams, besides the end parts. There seems to be 4 foot gaps between the beams on a 9 by 13.5 room, at two places, also with a second story above it as well. Problem is this week I went to pull up the floor in that area and found cement on top of what must be about 1 inch of plywood, and the more cement is on top in the firm shorter area that I was going to let go and the sagging area has less and then no cement. So I opened a 1.25 inch hole to see what was really there and that is how I know it is about 1 inch of plywood. However just about 1 inch below that is dirt... To me that means there is no wise bottom under the kitchen floor and what about the edges, footers are they even there or it is all built right on the ground like some dog box. When i bought it about 12 years ago they told me the house was over 100, but I was expecting a full information package would be given to me after I bought it and there was nothing, so I have guess and found very little about it from the neighbors as well. So I will need to pull up at least one 4 foot section to see what is under it and then I assume start digging to see if there is a support system on the edges. I assume there is since there is not any cracked drywall in that room of the room above it on any of the walls. But it really has me concerned. It also seems that no information is out about how one has ever truly repaired a house setting on the ground with sagging floors. They all are craw space or regular basements...

      That sounds like a complicated problem. I actually had an issue where someone had built an additional on a patio slab. It was barely three inches deep and it even had a built in slope. The floor was cracking apart and the neighbors said that it used to flood up through the cracks when it would rain heavy for multiple days. I took a different approach. My first goal was to deal with the water. My thinking was that the floor had already been there for at least a decade so if I could stop water erosion underneath the slab then maybe it would stabilize. I added gutters all around the roof and made sure to run the downspouts well away from the foundation. I added a small patio outside on the southern side (with the most weather exposure) and sloped that patio 2% away from the house and then regraded the dirt with clay on the other side to slope away from the house. On the worst corner that sunk I dug down and added a footer just in one area to stabalize since it was floating in the air. Then I used a grinder to 'chase' the concreted cracks on the inside, I cut slots perpendicular to the cracks, inserted fiberglass reinforcing rods (kinda like stiches), and then epoxied the cracks and rods. I added self leveler mix to reduce the interior slope and then I laid tile over it. Five years later and no cracks or visible movement at all. Maybe my issue was more minor than yours but you might consider fully addressing water control first if you haven't already. There's a youtube channel called Gate City Foundation Drainage where the guy does tons of drainage improvements to help with foundation issues and he shows the most critical considerations. I don't think he actually does the foundation repair though.

      Probably cheaper to repair than to rebuild because of the basement. This is why some of the piers are inside -- the point being, even after a rebuild, the new house will continue to settle on the same active soil. Piers are needed anyways. It would not matter if the piers support the old basement or a rebuilt basement.

    As a carpenter and former home builder, I would replace the damaged. If your floor is crooked it can usually be fixed from under the house, the piers may need to be replaced, because over time your outside foundation settles and your inside one don't, so lowering the inside one will straighten your floor back out. The outside band could be rotten and need replacing. In a lot of cases even if you did this it wouldn't fix your problems. Everything settles, and all foundations and concrete slabs crack. It doesn't matter if it has rebar or wire in it, it all cracks. So if there is just a small crack I wouldn't worry about it to much.

Unless it's a block house. I would have to look at it, but it sounds like you are saying the brick is pulling away from the house. And that can happen. when the brick are laid they attach it to the house with little metal pieces and nail it to the wall and mortar it to the brick. If the wall starts to rot, the nail pull loose and that could cause the wall to move away from the house. In some cases, you may have to relay the brick, to do that you have to take the brick off the house, when you do you will have the perfect opportunity to replace the plywood on the wall. then relay the brick.

They are coming back out and adjusting the piers under the lifetime warranty the foundation has now. As far as plumbing, yes something is probably cracked already under your slab and if not it will break with that type of lift needed for sure.

      The company will always go for more money. The engineers figure is probably spot on if the primary issue that caused it is corrected by the company doing the job. That's where the issue with many companies comes in, they take the easy way out that makes them the most money. The guy that says he had his done and it sank again is most likely they did not go deep enough to get the proper resistance to start with and they used push piers rather than the screw type.
