We’ve seen how repairs have affected homeowners across the country. In the North and Northeast, they often have expensive repairs of entire septic systems. In many parts of the South and Southwest, foundation problems often arise from soil that frequently expands and contracts, even with newer homes. In addition to the high costs of these repairs, there’s also a loss of time to consider—the time spent on finding contractors and missing work during the repair process. Even more time could be needed if you try to do the work yourself.
