Everyone has an opinion on whether or not your foundation needs "foundation repair". You see cracks in the walls and in the ceilings, floors are not level or your trusted friend commented that you have foundation "problems". "Never mind putting your house up for sale", said your uncle.

You may need repairs, but wouldn't be more valuable to have a structural engineer explain why you need repairs and the risks and benefits that come with it before you make the final decision. No one can force you to get foundation repair, but there are plenty of confusing reasons that can convince you to have this major surgery done to your house without a clear objective in sight.
