Downspouts discharging at the base of the foundation, water ponding near the base of the foundation, wet areas in the yard, or other drainage problems. If your home is experiencing any of these characteristics, a structural evaluation may be necessary to assess the need for repairs. Left untreated, these conditions often worsen in severity and repairs can become more costly.
Foundation movements can also cause damage to plumbing and/or gas lines, resulting in additional problems. Foundation issues can adversely affect the value of your home. Once a reputable contractor has made proper repairs, however, the home is usually restored to its market value.
Before selecting a repair company, the homeowner should carefully check all references to verify the quality of the company's work, its response to warranty calls, general customer satisfaction with the work performed, and any records with the Better Business Bureau.

We live in an area of Texas generally referred to as the "Blackland Prairie."
This area was quickly settled by pioneers because of its outstanding agricultural potential and has experienced rapid development ever since.
While these soils are excellent for crop production, they often cause various problems due to their inherent characteristics of high plasticity, or "shrink-swell" potential.
It is this behavior that affects house foundations and which must be carefully controlled to prevent damage to your house.
