  • Soft foot, base or pipe strain corrections needed

Before you hire in Birmingham

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Birmingham was built around 1960. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Older plumbing and sewer lines

50% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.

Permits: check with the Birmingham building department before work starts.

Precision Alignment in Birmingham: FAQ

Cost depends on the number of machines, type and speed, corrections needed for soft foot or pipe strain, access, drive train complexity and scheduling.
Soft foot is when a machine foot does not sit flat on its base, so tightening the bolt distorts the frame. It should be corrected before shaft alignment.
Both work when used correctly. Laser systems are faster and produce reports easily, while dial indicators are proven and useful in tight spaces.

It depends on the scope. Ask the Birmingham building department, and expect a licensed contractor to pull any permit the job needs.
