Julian Construction Says Prevention is Best Solution for Concrete Slab Failure
Slab replacement and extensive slab repairs can be costly. Regularly inspecting foundations for cracks, sinking or other damage is the best way to prevent concrete slab failure.
Los Angeles, CA, September 02, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Julian Construction (www.julianconstruction.com), a construction company in the Los Angeles area that specializes in foundation repair, says prevention is the best solution for concrete slab failure.
“Slab replacement and extensive slab repairs can be costly,” says Julian De La Torre, founder of Julian Construction. “Regularly inspecting foundations for cracks, sinking or other damage is the best way to prevent concrete slab failure.”
According to Julian, most slabs crack or break due to water problems. Too much or not enough water can cause a shift in the soil under the foundation. Left undetected, the situation will worsen over time, resulting in expensive repairs or even the need for foundation replacement.
Julian recommends homeowners take advantage of professional foundation inspections that check for flooring problems, wall cracks, and sticky doors and window – indicators of possible foundation issues that may need addressing.
Julian also warns that some structural problems may not be visible during their early stages of development. “A foundation expert will also be able evaluate the potential for any future trouble.”
Julian De La Torre has been doing earthquake retrofitting since the early 1990s and has personally worked on over 6,600 homes in Southern California. With this unmatched experience in the substructure areas of a home, Julian formed Julian Construction in 2001 with the goal of making safer homes, apartments and commercial properties throughout Southern California. His partner Shawn Kyles has inspected over 15,000 structures, working with both engineering firms and local departments of building and safety, and is an expert in foundation repair and house bolting.
