[quote=Anonymous]Not all foundation fixes are bad. We live in an old neighborhood where lots of foundation walls had small cracks on them. We saw plenty on foundations when we were looking at homes. Prior to finishing our basement, we decided to go ahead and spent $10K to put some support in, even though two reputable structural engineers advised us we did not need them yet (they said perhaps in 5-10 years assuming problems arise and we want to be cautious). We went ahead and put in all the pre-emptive support and finished off our basement. Our house has gone through all sorts of rain, snow and has not had a drop of water. We put in new gutters, regraded the entire yard with proper clay soil and cut down all tries that are 10 feet of the foundation. Let's just say we were being ultra careful, as we are/were first time home owners. So not all repairs are necessarily bad. It might be for pre-emptive reasons like ours.[/quote]
