Living on the gulf coast can cause some constant changes in the soil conditions.  Hurricanes and tropical storms can bring a tremendous amount of rain to the Galveston area. Sometimes flooding occurs and can last for days.  On the other end of the spectrum, the Texas heat can cause extreme drought conditions and then there is not enough moisture.  These changes in the Galveston weather can affect the ground beneath your home. The movement in the soil causes settling of the home’s foundation.  While settling is very normal and often times does not require foundation repair. If your home is experiencing cracks in your walls and brick, and doors that are not closing properly, you could have a foundation issue.  Contact Us for a Free Foundation Repair Evaluation.
