Can You Stay Home During Foundation Repair? Here’s What You Need to Know
If you’ve noticed signs of foundation problems, you might be wondering, “ Do I have to leave my home during foundation repair? ” The good news: in most cases, you can stay home safely while the repairs are underway.
At Foundation Solutions Group, we’re committed to minimizing disruption to your day-to-day life. Here’s a closer look at what you can expect during the foundation repair process and when it might make sense to step out temporarily.
Most Foundation Repairs Are Non-Invasive
The majority of foundation repairs are done from the exterior of the home or inside crawl spaces. Our crews are trained to work efficiently and cleanly, meaning you can continue your regular routines with minimal interference.
When You Might Need to Temporarily Leave During Foundation Repair
Although most foundation jobs don't require you to leave your home, there are a few situations where it could be necessary:
- Severe Structural Issues: If your home has significant structural damage or is unstable, we may recommend leaving temporarily for safety. This is rare, but when it happens, you’ll be informed right away.
- High Noise Levels: Drilling or driving piers can be loud. If you work from home, have young children, or pets sensitive to sound, you might prefer to be away during peak work hours.
- Utility Disruptions: Sometimes we may need to shut off water or power briefly to perform the job. We always communicate these needs in advance so you can plan accordingly.
- Interior Access Requirements: If your crawl space isn’t accessible from outside, we may need to open your floors to work from above
