2 S SHOULD YOU BE CONCERNED ABOUT EXPENSIVE HOME FOUNDATION PROBLEMS? ABSOLUTELY. Foundation problems are rampant throughout Texas and Oklahoma. Expansive clay soils combined with extreme weather conditions make your area a hotbed for home foundation problems. When ground moisture levels change, swelling and shrinking soils wreak havoc on home foundations. This may happen in just a few months time. Foundation damage commonly results from: Variations in climate, such as long droughts or heavy rains Removing or planting trees Excessive lawn watering Construction that reduces natural soil evaporation and vegetation Inadequate drainage Leaking underground water and sewer lines While you can mitigate some risk with your landscaping and drainage choices, many causes of foundation problems are beyond your control. Foundation damage caused by expansive soils is NOT covered by your builder warranty, homeowner s insurance or home warranty. By the time you see signs of a foundation problem, it is too late to budget for or insure against this problem. Now, for less than a dollar a day, you can be protected from an unexpected and very costly expense!
