Houston-based foundation repair company, Foundation Repair Houston Help, is offering their evaluation services free-of-charge to all during this statewide campaign.

Houston, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/05/2015 -- Many Texans are familiar with the worry over home foundation issues. The dramatic weather conditions and the shifting, clay-filled soil in Texas can be a challenge for any foundation. Unfortunately, no matter how common this issue may be, it does not make it any easier for the average family to fit a repair into their budget. For this reason, Foundation Repair Houston Help is drawing attention to their service, designed to make it easier for everyone to get the advice they need.

"Every foundation repair begins the same way, with an evaluation of the foundations itself." Company Spokesman Richard Kay states, "Our company, found at foundationrepairhoustonhelp.com, is offering free evaluations with no obligation to all area homeowner who have concerns over the safety of their foundations."

The company is using this campaign to increase awareness of the problems in foundations, foundation repair and even the typical evaluation process. Kay explained, "It is not unexpected when someone calls needing an inspection of a foundation, to have their fears confirmed. In fact, it has become so expected that some companies are taking advantage of this and claiming problems where none exist."

According to Kay, the majority of foundations, even those with some cracking, are secure. A certain amount of settling is expected in every home, no matter where in the country it is located. This can lead to cracks and lines in the foundation, but it does not mean the foundation is actually failing. The experts at this company believe that most homes are as secure now as the day they were built and require no repairs at all. In many of these homes a cosmetic touch up to fill in the cracks is sufficient.

"Many people are paying for costly foundation repairs that are not necessary. We want to change that. By signing up for a free evaluation at our website, http://foundationrepairhoustonhelp.com/foundation-repair-houston-texas all homeowners will be able to finally have the answers they need. If their foundation is in need of any type of repair, we will discuss with them all of their options.

Kay and his company are anxious to help make the worry over failing foundations in Texas a thing of the past.

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. Visit Foundation Repair Houston Helpers (http://foundationrepairhoustonhelp.com/best-foundation-repair-houston) for a free evaluation to find the foundation issue, its cause and how best to repair it," Kay recommends.

Signs published online at FoundationRepairHoustonHelp.com assist homeowners in knowing when they have true foundation issues

Houston, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/27/2014 -- Recent industry estimates put the cost of repairing and sealing a busted foundation at around $10,000 and going as high as $40,000, with water seeping through concrete, settling in basements and sprouting mold the main culprits. According to Richard Kay, spokesman for Foundation Repair Houston Helpers (http://foundationrepairhoustonhelp.com), water weakens the foundation, causing the walls of the foundation to crack, settle and cause havoc to the rest of the house. Says Kay, "The highly unstable soil due to gumbo clay and alternating drought/wet weather conditions causes frequent expansion and contraction of the soil, and this is a home foundation's worst nightmare."

Kay goes on to say the best way to avoid an extremely costly repair is to keep water far away from the foundation when the home. "When the home is construction phases, make sure the foundation is sloped away from the house, otherwise the water from the rain will pool around foundation, exploiting any structural weakness that seeps its way into the house." He goes on to suggest that clogged gutters and downspurts are also spots sure to cause trouble. He advises homeowners to make sure rain can flow from the roof into gutters and down the spouts away from the house.

Numerous problems indicate there's a problem with a foundation, including tilting floors, cracks in the ceiling, or exterior bricks displaying cracks. Kay states most of the foundation repair companies in Houston customers encounter will talk about their experience, satisfied customers, and strong guarantees. "It's hard for you, as a consumer, to see how any of the companies that offer this service are different just from words on a website or in a video." For that reason, he advises customers have at least three experts come out to a home to evaluate the situation.

With this in mind, Foundation Repair Houston Helpers (http://foundationrepairhoustonhelp.com/best-foundation-repair-houston) is now offering a free, no-obligation consultation to homeowners concerned about the future of their foundations.

Cracks in walls and sticky doors indicate a need to have a house inspected for foundation problems, reports Foundation Repair Houston Helpers

Houston, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/23/2014 -- When people spot cracks in their floors, cracks in their walls, or notice that their doors aren't swinging right anymore, it's normal for them to fear foundation problems. This, however, isn't always the cause of such issues. According to Foundation Repair Houston Helpers, there can be multiple causes of all of these things. Therefore, the first thing to do is get an inspection to find out what's really going on.

"There are quite a few things that can cause problems that seem like the foundation is involved," said Richard Kay of Foundation Repair Houston Helpers. "Cracks in the walls, for example, can be caused by improper drywall installation, water damage, or even someone pushing a heavy piece of furniture into the wall with excessive force."

"Another problem that often causes people to assume that the foundation is damaged is cracking in the floor of an attached garage," he went on. "However, this could just mean that too much weight was put onto that part of the slab. In that case, the actual foundation is almost always fine, and a simple patch will restore the floor. That's why our site recommends that people always get an inspection before assuming that foundation work is necessary."

The site, http://foundationrepairhoustonhelp.com, doesn't just recommend a single inspection. It advises homeowners to get three inspections and estimates from different companies, and notes that if work is believed to be needed, each company is likely to present a different plan for repairs. Surprisingly, it also mentions the possibility that some foundation problems may not be threats to the homeowner's family or to the house.

"Some foundation issues aren't expected to get worse over time or actually make a difference to a house's structural integrity," Kay noted. "That doesn't mean that they shouldn't be fixed, but it changes the situation from being an emergency to being a condition that can be dealt with in due time."

When foundation damage is found, there are many ways to deal with it. Often, different companies will have different opinions about which way is best, but will, of course, argue that their preferred method is the one to use. Homeowners will need to get multiple inspections and estimates and then choose the one that sounds the most sensible.

"It's always a good idea to get an inspection if any cracks, door troubles, or sloping floors are noticed," said Kay, "because these can very well mean foundation problems. If they're found, our methods usually involve piers, anchors, or jacks. We believe that Houston's geography is not suitable for simple pumped sand and similar measures. Something needs to be put in that will stay in place despite expansion, contraction, and heavy rains."
