Description

You may think you know a foundation problem when you see one. Cracked or deteriorating walls, uneven floors, and sticking windows and doors are hard to miss. But once you crack open this book by a real foundation repair expert, you will learn about telltale signs that often get missed. Experienced building contractors and ordinary homeowners alike will benefit from author Bob Brown’s plain-language explanation of what causes foundation problems, how they should be investigated, and what solutions apply in different situations. Get the inside story on what it takes to do a real investigation of foundation problems and come up with the right solution. Learn how contractors who lack knowledge or have conflicts of interest regularly charge homeowners thousands of dollars for “repairs” that are useless or make problems worse. Find out how and why Bob’s Arizona company spent years working with experts to develop a patented solution to remediate a damaging type of problem in which saturated soil heaves up under concrete slab foundations. Find out the questions you need to ask about foundations before a costly repair. This book clears up common misconceptions about the repair of foundation problems that plague many homes all over the world. An industry insider reveals that product suppliers have trained contractors and their salespeople to perform quick and dirty inspections that can result in misdiagnoses. A real investigation of a foundation problem involves many steps and a thorough understanding of building construction and soil dynamics. Bob Brown has spent decades working with engineers and scientists to find out how to thoroughly investigate different kinds of foundation problems in all of the unique ways and locations in which homes are built. He shares his proprietary solution for remediating the foundation problems most often given the wrong treatment. Homeowners who read this book will come away understanding more about foundation repair than some people who work in the field. Read more

  • Nothing but Net in This Honest, Informative and Straightforward Guide!!
This book, Foundation Repair Secrets: Learn How to Protect Yourself and Save Thousands, is a must read for homeowners. Foundation issues are nothing to take lightly. They must be addressed immediately else they could get so bad you lose your house! This book is packed full of information backed by experts and shown in real world jobs done by Bob Brown and his company Arizona Foundation Solutions. Mr. Brown, an expert in his field himself with plenty of certification to prove it, has even developed an application he calls the MoistureLevel System. The installation of this system allows Mr. Brown, and other engineers, to measure the flatness of a home's slab as well as the moisture movement under the slab. These measurements lead to correctly identifying the cause of the foundation's issues and providing proper and cost effective repairs and/or mitigations. Homeowners, after reading this book, will be well versed in what to expect from a company, any company, when they are called in for foundation issues. They will know what questions to ask to make sure the assessment of the problem is done correctly the first time as well as having a say in the solution to the problem. This will not only assure the homeowner the job is being done right the first time, they will also know it's being done cost effectively. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in this subject whether you're a homeowner, an engineer, a foundation repair person, or not. ... show more

  • This book can save you thousands!
This novel is an amazingly insightful tool for any homeowner or prospective homeowner to utilize. Having a healthy foundation is crucial to having a healthy home because without the proper foundation, the entire house is at risk of a wide variety of issues. Reading this can help anyone, even if they have zero knowledge about this topic. Being able to spot the underlying issues and proper methods of diagnosing and addressing these issues can help save homeowners thousands of dollars in repairs. It is sad that so many people get ripped off because they simply lack the tools to understand the root of the issues, and several companies prey on that lack of knowledge. This book will help you get the knowledge basis you need to avoid companies looking to put a band aid on a much larger issue that will resurface again, costing homeowners like yourself time, money, and a lot of grief. I highly recommend giving this book a read. It is well worth your time! I know more now about foundations than I ever thought I would, and I am grateful for this novel in more ways than I can justifiably express. ... show more

  • Useful resource
Living in California and homebuying, it’s quite common to see homes with large cracks in the foundation and lines along the walls. I was told by my then father-in-law that if you can’t stick your fingers in the crack, it’s fine. One of my siblings had fallen in love with a lovely house up on a hill that was an absolute “steal” and 25 years ago, the initial quote for the cost to repair the foundation in that house started at about $35k. So yeah, it’s a big issue. What Mr. Brown brings to his book is more than 30 years’ experience in mason repair. Part autobiographical and part instructive, he teaches us the importance of making smart and non-price-gouging decisions to assure that our homes will remain our best investment. While the different chapters cover everything from details of soil investigations to getting actual diagnoses of foundation issues, Mr. Brown intersperses them with actual stories that are easily relatable and reproducible. AND it also, for me, makes some repair services highly suspect, so I do appreciate this level of knowledge to aid in any decision-making we may need to do. ... show more
