The sandy soils in Accomack County are a big factor to consider when fixing a severe foundation problem. It is true that the immediate cost of just destroying and replacing the concrete slab is cheaper, but the long term cost will most likely be more than a slab pier system. Slab piers are a permanent solution, ripping up the old slab and re-pouring a new one is like a bandage on crack in the Hoover Dam. The new slab is just going to sink like the old one did. How many times do you want to fix this problem? Look at the rest of this album and you will see that its not just the floor that needed to be fixed. The homeowners had to remove carpet, drywall, and all the furniture. The drywall cracked because it was being pulled down while still attached at the top of the wall. The good news is that once the slab piers are finished, all of the other stuff will be secure as well.
