There are three primary types of concrete foundations: slab-on-grade, crawl space, and full basement. Slab-on-grade is a single layer of concrete, several inches thick, laid directly on the ground. Crawl space foundations are elevated a few feet off the ground, while full basements provide additional living or storage space below the ground level.

A well-built and properly maintained concrete foundation can last for over a century. Factors that affect its lifespan include the quality of materials used, the construction process, and the environment it is built in.

Yes, concrete foundations can be repaired, though the method and feasibility of repairs depend on the type and extent of the damage. Options range from sealing cracks with epoxy injections to underpinning the foundation with piers to address settlement issues.

Signs that your concrete foundation may need repair include visible cracks in the walls or floors, uneven floors, doors or windows that stick, and gaps between the walls and the ceiling or floor. If you notice any of these issues, it's advisable to consult a professional for an assessment.

Preventive measures include ensuring proper drainage around the foundation, maintaining a stable moisture level in the soil, and avoiding planting large trees too close to the foundation. Periodic inspections can also help catch and address minor issues before they become major problems.
