  REPAIRS

• A buildings foundation provides your home with
  structural stability from the ground up. Damage
  to or problems with the foundation can impair the
  structural integrity of your home, potentially
  causing it to shift over time. That is why it is
  important to carry out any foundation repair work
  as soon as issues arise. When searching
  for foundation repair services in Dallas, Fort
  Worth, and nearby areas, Kang Contractors can
  help. We are a team of highly professional
  contractors providing numerous home construction
  services to the Dallas community. Continue
  reading as we present common reasons behind pier
  and beam foundation repairs.
• Poor Soil ConditionsA large part of the Texas
  region including Dallas contains expansive soil
  (with excessive smectite clay). The soil expands
  during rainy seasons and contracts during dry
  seasons leading to a substantial reduction in
  the soil volume each season, which causes immense
  stress on a buildings foundation. Over time, the
  foundation becomes weak, resulting in cracks and
  other damage to the homes walls. Kang
  Contractors is an experienced foundation repair
  contractor that can help you protect your home
  from suffering significant damage due to these
  poor soil conditions.
• Faulty ConstructionAnother reason behind
  foundation failure is faulty construction. When
  building, foundation contractors should study the
  soil composition carefully to prevent any
  possibility of failure in the future. Soil with a
  high clay content is more likely to lead to
  foundation failure as it expands and contracts in
  wet and dry seasons, respectively. Using fill
  dirt or non-compacted soil around the foundation
  can lead to more shifting of the foundation and
  ultimately result in foundation failure.

• Water Damage
• Water damage is yet another common reason behind
  foundation repairs. A poor drainage system is a
  possible cause of water damage, as it leads to
  standing water around the foundation. Standing
  water results in soil expansion, leading to the
  upward movement of the foundation. If left
  unchecked, it can lead to serious foundation
  problems. You need to check for the signs of a
  bad foundation and practice effective water
  management to avoid serious foundation problems.
  When faced with damaged foundations, you need an
  expert team of foundation repair contractors such
  as Kang Contractors to fix the issue as soon as
  possible.
• Plumbing Leaks
• Plumbing leaks are a common cause of foundation
  problems, and can contribute significantly to
  foundation damage if left unchecked. Reason
  being, plumbing lines are usually routed beneath
  the foundation  so when leaks happen, it directly
  affects the soil beneath the house. Other types
  of damage may or may not affect all the different
  types of foundations, but plumbing leaks can
  affect any type of foundation, causing
  potentially serious, long-term foundation damage.
  It is important to check all plumbing leaks and
  get them fixed at the earliest to avoid long-term
  damage. Our professional contractors are
  experienced at handling all types of foundation
  repair work, including providing lasting
  solutions to plumbing leaks.
