Understanding the specific issues your foundation faces can help ensure a precise and effective repair solution.

Before contacting Floodman, consider documenting the following:

3. **Recent weather events**: Record recent heavy rainfall, snowmelt, or flooding that might have contributed to foundation issues.

4. **Historical patterns**: Note if your home has experienced previous foundation problems, such as cracks that widened over time or recurring water issues.

5. **Structural changes**: Document any recent renovations, additions, or changes to the foundation that could affect stability.

6. **Water damage indicators**: Look for signs of water damage, such as mold growth, warped wood, or discoloration in the foundation area.

7. **Drainage issues**: Note if there are problems with gutters, downspouts, or drainage systems that might be contributing to water accumulation around your foundation.
