Trust Foundation and Repair in Tyler is getting more calls for problems underneath houses and mobile homes.<\/p>\n
\u201cNormally we\u2019ll get a little bit of rain a few days dry. This year we\u2019ve gotten drastic amounts of rain over and over and over again,\u201d Trust Foundation and Repair project manager Timothy Wilson said. \u201cIt allows moisture to enter and start rotting out the beams in the sub-floor on the homes,\u201d Wilson said.<\/p>\n
The unchecked water can cause washouts underneath the home and exterior issues like cracks in bricks. Other signs of foundation issues are cracks above doors, windows and malfunctions in those areas. Wilson\u2019s advice is to divert the water away from the home.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou want to divert the water away from the home, so it\u2019s not falling right next to it. Gutter systems are very important, but even on those, you want to put a diverter to take the water as far away from the house as you can,\u201d Wilson said.<\/p>\n
When the sun finally comes out, the water evaporates and gets caught as it rises with nowhere to go.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t know it until it\u2019s a major problem, there\u2019s no way to see it, so the key is, just to keep the water away from the home completely,\u201d Wilson said.<\/p>\n
To get ahead of any potential problems, he advised property owners to walk around their home and document any early issues, so they don\u2019t have to pay too much in the end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
