Foundation repair help in Converse

Soil & homes in Converse

Converse sits on deep, dark Blackland clay that can swell and shrink dramatically between wet and dry seasons — one of the more active soil areas around San Antonio.

What to watch for

Seasonal cracks that open in August and close in spring are a classic clue. Consistent foundation watering in summer can help reduce movement.

Before you hire

• Get at least two written estimates
• Ask what the warranty covers and if it transfers when you sell
• Ask whether an engineer's report or permit is needed
• Consider a plumbing leak test if the cause is unclear
