Homeoewners find repairs tend to be less costly when treated promptly, reports FoundationRepairHoustonHelp.com

Houston, TX -- (SBWire) -- 04/07/2015 --Foundation Repair Houston Helpers (http://www.foundationrepairhoustonhelp.com) offers a free, no-obligation, honest evaluation of one's home foundation to detect minor problems before they worsen. Although Houston is known for its affordable housing market, the area remains prone to foundation issues, due in part to the highly unstable soil found in the region. A routine home inspection needs to be on the list of items every homeowner should have performed on a regular basis.

"Houston homes tend to have more foundation problems than any other area in the country, due to the weather patterns and unique soil conditions. The weather tends to alternate between droughts and rainy periods, and this leads to the gumbo clay becoming unstable. As a result of this frequent contraction and expansion of the soil, homes often experience foundation issues," reports Richard Kay, spokesperson for Foundation Repair Houston Helpers.

Certain signs appear when a home's foundation has been compromised. A hairline crack in concrete often signifies a foundation issue, and these cracks need to be fixed immediately to ensure they don't grow with time. When doors and windows no longer function properly, this may be an indication that the home of the foundation is settling, and the same is true if paper on the walls begins to peel or crack.

"A minor foundation problem takes less time to repair than a major one," Kay states. "In addition, the cost tends to be less in this situation. With the free evaluation offered through Foundation Repair Houston Helpers (http://foundationrepairhoustonhelp.com/foundation-repair-houston-texas), individuals can quickly determine if they have a foundation problem and the extent of this problem, so repairs can be made promptly."

Many homeowners assume there is only one way to fix a foundation. Nothing is further from the truth. The first thing which must be determined is the type of foundation, as a slab foundation requires different repairs than a pier and beam foundation. In addition, problems resulting from outside pressure require one type of repair while sinking crawl floor spaces need another.

"The free evaluation ensures the root of the issue is identified so a solution can be recommended. For some, anchors on inside walls prevent movement of the walls so they return to their original position. In contrast, a settling foundation needs a pier system put into place to balance the weight of the foundation. These are merely two of many solutions which may be recommended.
