Cracked Wall

  You’re looking at the outside of your beautiful brick home when you notice the veneer is cracking. Understandably, you start to worry about what this means.

Expose animals to loud music and lights!?  (These were some of my actual results- no kidding!)  These may be good ideas for alienating your neighbors, but not for pest removal.   Acculevel […]

When you notice cracks in your foundation, leaning foundation walls, or signs of settling, your first reaction is to worry. A number of questions go through your mind. What’s causing the damage to your home? What will foundation repair cost? How do you find someone you can trust? These are all valid concerns, and you […]

Rain makes our crops grow, but it can also create problems for your home’s foundation.  This is especially true if those showers are heavy rains, or you live near a lake or river.  You may wonder, what does my location have to do with anything? The answer is: if you live on property with a […]
