Most people don't find this out until it's too late: homeowners insurance usually won't pay for water that seeps in slowly at the foundation. That's on you.

Catching it early is the cheapest fix there is. Foundation Watch: 4 checkups a year, photo report every time, $499.

What we check on a Foundation Watch visit:

- Cracks in foundation walls, inside and out
- Walls bowing or leaning
- Grading pitched toward the house
- Gutters and downspouts dumping at the wall
- Sump pump and discharge
- Crawl space moisture and wood rot
- Same photos from the same spots every visit, so you can see if anything moved

$499 a year, 4 visits. Sign up by Nov 30.

We’ve been real behind again! The part of my business that suffers when this happens is site visits. If you are waiting on us to come take a look we haven’t forgot you. You’re in a list and we’ll get there soon. Thanks for your patience!

Financing is here.

Back in September I said we were working on financing options. It's set up now.

Foundation and waterproofing work doesn't wait for a good year. A wall that's moving or a basement taking water only gets worse. Now you can get it fixed right and pay over time.

Check your options in about a minute, no impact to your credit:

Rafters are cheap compared to floor joists.

A roof leak shows up on the ceiling and gets fixed. Water at the foundation stays quiet for years, rotting sills and joists under your feet before anybody notices.

Foundation Watch puts eyes on your foundation 4 times a year so it never gets that far. $499 a year, first visits in December.

Everybody watches the roof. The ground is where the money goes.

$499 for the year. Sign up by November 30 and your first visit is in December.

Something a little different from the usual foundation work. 🐷

After 30 years in the trade I got tired of handing the bank interest on every truck and piece of equipment I bought. So I started being my own bank: I borrow from my own savings and pay myself back with interest, so the interest stays in my pocket.

I built an app to keep track of it called FatPig. It's for everyday working people, not rich folks. Your money stays in your own bank account and FatPig just keeps score. The pig gets fatter as you go.

It's coming soon. I'm letting a few people test it first. Follow the FatPig page to be first in line, or send me a message if you want in.

Everybody watches the roof. The ground is where the money goes.

A roof leak shows up on the ceiling the first hard rain. You see it, you fix it, and insurance usually helps.

Water at the foundation is quiet. It soaks in year after year, rots sills and floor joists, pushes walls in, and grows mold under your feet. By the time you notice a soft floor or a crack, it's been costing you for years, and homeowners insurance won't touch it.

Rafters are a lot cheaper to replace than floor joists.

Wet basement, musty crawl space, cracks, or doors that started sticking? Send me a couple pictures. Same-day answer, free inspection.

Already dry? Ask about quarterly foundation checkups. We check the foundation, grading and drainage every few months and catch it before it costs you.

Already been given a quote on your foundation or your wet basement?

Bring it to me. I'll come look for free and tell you what's actually causing it. If I think you don't need the work somebody told you that you need, I'll tell you that too, and it won't cost you anything. I've done it.

I don't have salesmen. The man who prices your job is the man who will be in the hole doing it. We take the water off at the outside of the wall and carry it away below the footer, so it stops where it starts instead of getting collected after it's already in your house. Fix the cause, not just the symptom.

My warranty is in writing and it goes to the next owner of the house.

Know what's wrong. Know what comes next.

Send me a couple pictures of what it's doing, inside and out, and tell me what town you're in.
