Foundation repair help in Universal City

Drainage matters here

Universal City sits near Cibolo Creek, and some lots are fairly flat. When rain pools next to the house instead of draining away, the soil under that side swells while the rest stays dry. That uneven movement is a common cause of foundation cracks.

Simple checks

• Ground should slope away from the house for several feet.
• Gutters and downspouts should send water away from the slab.
• Flower beds should not trap water against the foundation.

Military families

If you are stationed at Randolph and may sell or move, ask any company whether its warranty transfers to a new owner. Buyers often ask about past foundation work.
