Tips From Businesses To Help YouMenuSkip to contentHomePrivacyJune 27, 2014 by adminAbout The Tests By A Plumber On Your FoundationI was talking with my friend Jim who is a plumber and tests a foundation after it has been repaired by a foundation repair company.  Of interest is the various scenarios which can take place due to, what most professionals consider to be, the sub-standard soil in the North Texas area for foundation stability.  Quite often, especially in the North Dallas suburbs, homes were constructed so quickly that the way that the foundations were installed often were prone to problems within a short window of time.For example, some foundations were set where the water table/line was not properly accounted for.  This, obviously, can lead to problems.  In addition to the actual repair of the foundation, in order for it to get approved by the town (or city), it must pass various inspections.  One common one people don’t realize is that they need a foundation repair plumbing test to get approval for the foundation repair.  This testing process is needed because so many problems can happen even with a repair company.There can be problems with the slab, gas lines, water lines and other plumbing-related issues which often go undetected due to how deep in the ground that the problems can be.  They often get overlooked and these problems, even if they go undetected by the inspector and you get your foundation repair approved/passed, can be the cause of serious plumbing problems later on.  Such problems would include slab leaks and possible gas leaks.Hopefully this information can help you get informed.  Consider contacting a trusted plumber who understands foundation repair tests; and talk with that person about what you need to know before you get your foundation repaired.  This way you increase the odds of getting the repair approved by the municipal representative and minimize the risks of future problems which can be costly.Posted in foundationsDecember 29, 2013 by adminChoosing A Concrete ContractorThe available concrete contractors serving your area could possibly be easy to find online nowadays, but there’s no guarantee of quality plus a favorable overall experience.  Since many people are not familiar with the nuances of concrete and other materials, what looks like a quality finished produce may – in fact – be something substandard.  Since Texas has such extremes in weather from temperature, humidity, wind and precipitation you have to find a concrete contractor whose jobs are quality and will withstand the physical elements.  Yes, this applies to concrete inside your home or building as well.Due for the increase in interest in concrete services, including stamped and stained concrete and also other decorative concrete services, the availability of quality concrete experts may not necessarily have good supply.  To assist you to determine who consistently performs quality work, below are great tips no matter
