It comes as no surprise to many of us that 2009 has been a record breaking year for drought in Texas yet again. You don’t need to be a meteorologist to know that the heat is sweltering! Not only does this pose problems for our agriculture, it also poses an issue for any homeowner in the Gulf Coast Region.
If you are not already familiar with foundation problems or foundation repair then I encourage you to get educated. While your home may have been fine through this last year, be prepared for the 2009 summer to bring new brick cracks, sheet rock cracks, and sticking doors. Drought is the culprit to blame for foundation settlement in the Gulf Coast Region. Many folks would have you believe the only way to combat this is through costly and invasive foundation repair methods. However, the simple idea of soil moisture control can work wonders and offer consistent results for years down the line.
