  Speaker 2: thing's going. Man, you're doing all right? Yeah, Yeah, we're
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: we're doing good. We're busy.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Even with the cold weather, we're still we're still humming
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: right along. We got a bunch of inside projects going
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: right now that we're fortunate enough to keep keep everybody,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: everybody going through the winner and we're still trying to
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: grow and higher people even with the bad weather coming.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Well, let me and I don't want to skip too
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: far heck, because I have kind of a process this
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: morning that since you've been off the airways for a
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: little while, I figured we can kind of reintroduce you
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: to folks walk through the steps of what you do
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: at Foster Foundation Repair and so forth. But I do
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: want to skip ahead just a little bit because anybody
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: that's paying attention to the weather they see coming up
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: this weekend, if things play out the way that it could,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: it could be a legendary storm coming this weekend with
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: not only tons of snow and problems along those lines.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: On the other end of that cold spell that's going
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: to come in with the Arctic wear Arctic air, which
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: makes me think, in the context of our show, you're
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: going to get extreme pressure on your on your property
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: with potentially heavy snow. You might get some sort of
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: a melt or a runoff, but then you're going to
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: have some severe freezing that's going to come about. These
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: are the types of things that can cause problems with
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: the house or reveal problems if you have them.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, ground freezing is certainly can cause some issues. I
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: remember a retaining wall in that that was in my
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: neighborhood that always I drove by it every day and
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: always had a little bit of a lean to it.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: And I left to go to work one morning, came
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: back two hours later. In between that time, it was
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: a cold time of year like this, and it had
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: fallen over in a matter of two hours. So it's yeah,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: the frost, the extreme cold, the freeze thaw is certainly
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: does play a factor on houses, especially homes that have
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: shallow foundations. We see that a lot that definitely effects
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: can lead to heaving with the frost and then settlement
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: as the ground falls out.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: It's kind of interesting to watch. There's competing meteorologists online.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: It seems like, you know, local meteorologists, and all of
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: them are are have slightly different expectations, and I feel
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: like they're throwing shade on each other. It's a little
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: it's a little interesting to watch from time to time,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: but that's one way or the other. We're supposed to
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: get some snow this weekend, whether it's four inches or
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: fourteen or twenty four inches.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: We don't know yet, but we'll see what happens.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Always seem to be, it seems like we're always on
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: the lower side of the estimate here in.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Charles, and I keep on saying that until the day
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: that we're not. Probably.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I remember, I remember a storm, and I was telling
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: my daughter about this last night because I was about
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: her age and the big storm that came through here
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: in eighty three. There was a big snowstorm that came through,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: if I remember.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: My dates right.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: And there's pictures of me in the yard, actually in
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: the house that I live in now, because I bought
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: that house and remodeled it when I moved back to
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: West Virginia fifteen years ago, carving tunnels in the yard
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: under the snow, and like they were deep, you know.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I'm like I could crawl through them and everything else.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: And I told my daughter, like, maybe you'll get a
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: chance to make some tunnels this weekend. Yeah, kids barely
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: even played in the snow so far, and she's eight,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: so it would be nice if she gets a chance.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: We had a good one a few years, maybe five
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: years ago, in three or four. I think it was feet,
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: I don't remember, but it seemed like it was a
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: heck of a snow.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Have some of them that come through here. So if
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: you have questions for Brett this morning and give us
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: a call. I want to kind of start with the
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: services that Foster Foundation Repairs offers, and we're going to
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: go through some of those things how it might relay
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: to you if any of these things kind of catch
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: your attention as we go alonger you think of another questions.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: It's a little off topic that we're on this morning,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: but still something that Break can help you with. Feel
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: free to give us a call. This is not a
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: hard syllabus that we're going about this morning. So threes
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: are a four three four five fifty eight fifty eight.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Threes are a four three four five fifty fifty eight. Well,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: it's been a little while since Bread's been here, so
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: let's get folks a quick overview as far as Foster
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Foundation Repair goes a little bit of your history of
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: taking over the business and what your focus is.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so around four and a half years ago, my
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: wife and I started Foster Construction Foster Foundation Repair. At
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: that time we bought the assets of off of Dave Foster,
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: who in my opinion, was one of the best foundation
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: repair contractors in the area. I did a lot of
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: work with Dave. Dave we were a source of referral
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: back and forth. I was doing engineering and home inspections
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: structural inspections at the time, So essentially I would go
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: out and evaluate foundations structural concerns and provide the owner
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: with a set of plans and recommendations on how to
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: address the issues that they were having. The owner would
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: then take that out to contractors, Dave Foster being one
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: of them, and get estimates and then of course get
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: the work done and and if if the owner wanted to,
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: I'd be involved on the back end during the project
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: to make sure everything was getting done. There's there's oftentimes
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: a lot of surprises in what we do. I tell
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: our guys, oftentimes we have to dig it up to
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: find out what we're going to do. And that's that
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: that was the benefit of having, you know, somebody third
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: party and independent engineer, third party involved with the project.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: But that's been about four and a half years ago
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: that we started this business. But I'd say we're a
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: general general contractor. I mean we are a general contractor.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: We can we can do just about anything. We have
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: people that are capable of doing bathrooms and kitchens, although
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: we don't. That is not what we do. There's a
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: lot of other contractors out there that do that. We
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: don't do a lot of the pretty finished work. We
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: focus we're are, we're sort of a niche contractor that
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: focuses on the heavy lift of the foundation repair side
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: of things. And then oftentimes there are contractors that come
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: in behind us redo dry wall or flooring that that
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: are probably more efficient than us. That that's their their
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: chosen path and what their their best skill set is.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: But we we do a lot of We can do
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: a little bit of everything. We build retaining walls, we
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: repair retaining walls. We we could certainly do new construction
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: from the ground up, and there'd be a certain point
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: we would want to hand that off to a to
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: another contractor just because of of what what our skill
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: sets are. But we do our primary focus, I would say,
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: in our primary my primary background, in our company's primary
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: skill set is it's dealing with residential foundations, framing repairs
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: where things have moved and we will come in and
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: stabilize or or repair it push it back into place.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: In some cases, we've got we have to rebuild foundations.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: We've got a project coming up that is we're rebuilding
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: approximately forty feet of a f foundation, two different walls
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: that makes up about forty feet of the foundation where
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: or we'll actually go in and stay temporarily shore the
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: entire house, dig it out, take the existing foundation walls out,
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: and then rebuild them. They've just sustained that much damage
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: that they're that they're not not able to be repaired.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: One of the many things that Foster foundation repair does.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: So for people that are hearing this and they hear
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: foundation repair, different people might think that foundation repair means
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: different things. So let's talk about your core services, the
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: things that you offer, like sort of as your bread
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: and butter as far as foundation goes.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so, state foundation stabilization from differential settlement is one
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: of our primary Uh. You know, We've got a crew
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: that does that. Basically every day they move from job
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: to job installing vertical helical piers and that's that. Essentially,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: if the house settles, we excavate and expose the foundation.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: We install these helical peers, which are like large steel
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: screws that are spun into the earth until we get
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: down to competent soil, which is very different, very very
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: dramatically depending on what part of the region you're in
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Taysse Valley. If you're in the Old tays Valley River basin,
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: they might go forty or fifty feet up. In South Hills,
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: most of the time they're going to go twelve to
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: twenty somewhere, and so it really depends on That's one
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: thing that we do almost every day. We have a crew,
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: if not two, installing neither peers or tie backs, and
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: a lot of that. We actually just finished two projects
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: where we essentially are repairing exactly what somebody else tried
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: to five or ten or fifteen years ago with peers
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: or with either helical peers or push piers.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: But it didn't work.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: For the one job, we actually backed out the previous
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: companies peer and found out that they installed a basically
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: is just an undersized peer. And it's not uncommon that
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: contractors in the year you do that, they cost less
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: money to the material costs less money. So it's a
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: way to keep cost but it's not necessarily a a
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: you know, just saving some money upfront is not always
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: the best, the best way to go about things.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: That's why there's parts of me that wishes that my
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: daughter could sit in on some of these conversations because
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: she's huge into building right now. Anything that she can
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: build with with Legos with I mean literally anything that
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: she can build with. She's building constructing pretty complex roob
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Gold machines basically throughout her But she gets so frustrated
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: when she has something that's a little one even where
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: she doesn't have it right and it won't sit just right.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: And I'm trying to explain to her, I mean I'm
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: now engineer, but I'm trying to explain to her. Is like, honey,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: you have to have the structure of that thing has
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: to be right for it to hold. You have it
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: so well done for somebody that has no idea what
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: they're doing. You just have to learn some of the
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: basics of this. She gets so mad at having to
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: learn anything. It's like, honey, people make mistakes and you
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: need to have like an actual engineer that can like
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: teach you or look at these things.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I had. My son was building a Lego
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: kit this past week and they was pretty cool as
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: a car as the technics which those are the out
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: years and things. Oh yeah, that was pretty then he
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: was doing the same thing. He's nine, and he was
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: getting very Rushia is like, buddy, we just got let's
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: take a break.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: Kid's almost the same thing.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just honey, I mean, and she's working on things
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: that are a little bit you know, it's you know,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: age thirteen over or whatever, and she's good at it,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: but it just takes a little extra time, you know, just.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: Let it go. Those things are tricky.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: But but but seriously, you scale that type of thing up.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: And I mean, I'm a fifty one year old man.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know anything about about beyond you know, dead reckoning.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: I guess I don't know anything about engineering, you know.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I know, like I said, like
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: things that you pick up on casually through relationships with reality.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: But other than that, I have no idea. So when
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: you're working on things along these lines and you have
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: somebody that's not an expert to saying, hey, we can
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: do this and this will be just fine, you really
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: don't know. As a homeowner, you you're taking a person's
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: word for it, and they may even have the best
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: possible intentions, but even they may not know the best
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: solution for it.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I see that quite a bit. A lot
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: of when I was just doing the engineering side, when
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: I was just doing home inspections and engineering inspections, oftentimes
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: I would get the phone call that we've had three
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: contractors out, they all want to do something different. We're
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: calling you to get the you know what you feel,
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: and that's I still get those calls today, not as
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: much as I used to when I was just doing
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: the engineering inspections, but it's common to go out and see, Yes,
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: maybe it's the salesman aspect of things where they're just
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: taking things quite a bit too far or knowledge. I
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: don't know.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: I don't want to.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: Judge the reasoning, but there's a lot of times that
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: you know, there's too much or insufficient or I mean,
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: I have seen houses that have had large repairs twenties
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: one thousands of dollars repairs on the front and the
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: actual problem was at the rear.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: And and that's.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Actually a house I went to earlier this week that
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: was previously repaired. There was another engineer involved, and I
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: was looking at all the old documentation that I had
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: could get my hands on, and I kept looking at
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: I was like this, this looks like the problem over
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: here and sure enough, we go out there and we're
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: going to go fix the original problem that has not
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: been addressed. And they've spent a decent sum of money,
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: oh man, on trying to repair this, and unfortunately they
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: just they missed the mark on it.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: When I first became a home owner and I was
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: trying to teach myself like some disrudimentary plumbing and stuff
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: like that, you know, you don't have to call a
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: plumber every single time something goes wrong in the house
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: or whatever. I did a significant amount of work that
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: ended up being on the wrong side of the problem,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: and you learned very quickly, you know that, oh wait,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I should have gone the other way with this, and
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: I would have saved myself a lot of work. But frankly,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: it was a mistake. But I've learned from that, you know,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: And now I know that you've got to go back
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: as far as you possibly can to the beginning of
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: where the problem might be and then work your way
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: forward and find it where it's at. It was a
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: simple thing, but it's it's something that you know, Obviously,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: an expert in the field or some way that that's
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: used to that type of work is going to know
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: to incorporate it and it's going to know where to
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: look for these problems.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, plumbers, I uh, I definitely enjoy hiring a plumber
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: when when need be.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: We do.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: We do downspout drains, which new downspout drains, which is
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: you know, limited, I mean, it doesn't require that much
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: skill to do that. But getting into supply lines and
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: sewer lines, we try to always engage a plumber for that.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Master plumbers like magicians. I mean, I don't care what
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: you say, they're like magicians. It's incredible the work you
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: can get done in that regard. Brad Hauston is with
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: us this morning. He is the owner of Foster Foundation Repair,
• 14:20

  Speaker 2: give us a call three zero four three four five
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: fifty eight fifty eight about foundation of your home, any
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: questions that you might have about that, or you can
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: send us a text question if you have three zero
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: four non three five five zero zero eight three zero
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: four non three five five zero zero eight. I want
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: to talk to just a little bit about about the
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: issues that we have locally. And we've talked about this before,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: but we do have a unique I mean, I guess
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: everywhere in the United States, it's a huge country, has
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: unique soil makeup. There's different issues at somebody in Texas
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: might have to West Virginia to California, to Michigan to
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: whatever it might be.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: What are some of the unique challenges that we have
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: in this area.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: So we have pretty expansive clay soils, and certain areas
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: are worse than others. We also have, you know, the
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: hills that are are tending to creep down down toward
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: the Kanna River, so I mean, and then along with that,
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: I'd say, not only just soil conditions, I'd say the
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: building practices over the last fifty to seventy years or
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: not the highest, the greatest. We have a lot of
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: unreinforced CMU basement walls or block foundation walls that are
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: retaining eight nine, ten twelve feet of backfilld soil, which
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: is a lot of pressure to act laterally on a foundation. So,
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: you know, the combination of those, you know, the building practices,
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: the soil conditions, the not so stable hillsides that we have,
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: and then of course the hillsides bring water. I mean,
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: that's the main driver of foundation issues, is too much
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: water or during droughts like we've had the past two summers.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: Too little water.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: But that's that's kind of a function of too too
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: much water in the spring, too little. If it's more
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: balanced the water amount of water content in the soil,
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: the moisture content of the soil, if it stays more
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: balanced through those large variations from spring to summer, that
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: reduces the risk of that type of movement, the expanse
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: of the excessive, expansive or cyclical movement that we encounter.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: And that's sort of a moving target for it. I
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: mean that comes from experience and things that you know
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: to valuate and look out for. That's just something in
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: this area that you get used to and it's part
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: of the job.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's what you have to be aware of.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that And I mentioned Tays Valley. I
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: mean that's there's there's a a strip of land from
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Saint Albans to essentially Huntington that was at one point
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: an ancient river bed, uh and it poses and that
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: it's basically the sixty four corridor is where this the
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: river bed was, and it is a it has some
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: nasty soil conditions for at the surface to try to
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: build on and then when when we're trying to repair them,
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: going the depth of that we have to go in
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: that region with the local peers. Is one example is
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: you know, we'll go up to we've been sixty feet
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: deep before we hit anything that was solid enough to
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: stabilize the house. And that's something I've started tracking, is
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: actually elevation and depth and things of that nature to
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: actually get a good idea that I want to try
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: to get some historical data on those things, which is
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: it's very interesting that I've only been doing it for
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: six months or a year, but the data that I've accumulated,
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: it's pretty interesting.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Something like the geological information of the area and things
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: like that, that's very fascinating. Yeah, that's something else. And
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: just to think about what you were talking about with
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: the sixty four cord or being an old river bed,
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: just to think about something like that, you.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: Know, the flattest place. I makes sense. It makes sense.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: It makes a lot of sense. Yeah, there's no doubt
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: about it. Well, we have plenty that we're going to
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: talk to Brad about. Let's go ahead and take our
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: break now, and then when we come back, plenty of
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: things that we're going to get into. I'm want to
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: talk a little bit about some of the advantage of
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: having your foundation repaired and also having it taken a
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: look at how these things might affect the value of
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: your home going into a sell. Things along those lines
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: that might help you out other repairs you might want
• 18:05

• 21:05
  Speaker 2: you in many ways. You're in a home where you're
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: seeing some problems, some issues around the house. I want
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: to ask right about that in just a second. Some
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: things you might want to be aware of that you
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: might want to make a phone call on to make
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: sure that the problem doesn't get worse. You can put
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: a Foster foundation repair to work for you. Maybe you're
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: looking at trying to tighten things up before putting your
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: home on the market. You know you might have an issue,
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: or you want to have it an issue resolved and
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: get a clean bill of hell, something along those lines.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Brett can point you in the right direction. Along those lines,
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Let's talk a little bit about either you're just somebody
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: that's comfortable in your home and you're not going anywhere
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: and you're just taking like your seasonal walk around the property,
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: or maybe you're in the market for maybe selling your
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: home and you want to list it, and you're doing
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: your first due diligence, which is trying to take a
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: look around and see if there's anything you need to
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: get addressed. What are some of the things that someone
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: might see that might be an indicator that they have
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: some foundation issues.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: Anytime you get start getting cracks development, obviously, doors that
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: are that will, door frames that become out of square,
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: that the door may not no longer close and latch properly.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: I don't want to say those are always foundation issues.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: I've got a door that that comes and goes seasonally.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: It drives me. Most people do, and I don't. I don't.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: I definitely don't want to be an alarmist, But those
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: are the thing things you want to look at, is
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: you know, if you're starting to develop cracks that.
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: That tend to.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: That are progressive, is what I And that's the main
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: thing I'm looking for when I'm evacuating. A foundation, not
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: a crack that's been there for twenty years. So I
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: looked at a crack yesterday at a house we're going
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: to do a project on, and the owner would believe
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: that it was new and looking at it. There was
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: it was stained, it was weathered. It's been there for
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: many years. I actually had pictures of it from when
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: I was there three to four months ago, but she
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: she had never seen it and never I assume I
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: would have pointed it out to her, but she had never.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: She does not recall seeing it and U So, you know,
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: cracks that are progressive, that are off some times, a
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: fresh crack will still have the debris, the masonry or
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: concrete debris still within the crack. Older cracks tend to
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: be clean in the sense there's nothing, no loose material
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: left in it. Gravity has pulled that out or wind
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: or whatnot has pulled that out and it's fallen to
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: the ground. So cracks are definitely something to look at.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: Gutters gutters are critical. Get the gutters cleaned, especially before
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: a big winter storm like maybe coming because as as
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: the gutters are frozen, all the all the roof, all
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: the snow that's going to melt off the roof first
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: because you're having heat loss from the house is going
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: to bypass those gutters and discharge next to the foundation.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: Confirming that down spouts are connected to the to the
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: inground drains is very, very important because all that water
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: from the roof gets concentrated in that one location and
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: then it discharges into the the soil, which which makes
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: soil very heavy. In the sense in the situation where
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: you might have a basement that's going to make the
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: soil very heavy at.
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: Water very heavy.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: If you have a shallower foundation, like a crawl space,
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: that can soften the soils. Depending on the type of
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: soil that it is, it can solten, it lead to
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: settlement or I sort of touched it on this earlier.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: It can just saturate the soil. And if it's expansive soils,
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: it can cause it to swell this time of year,
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: and then as we move into the drier seasons it
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: can it can dry out and allow the soil to
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: shrink or contract and the foundation can move with it.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: The expansive clay soils are very are impressive. There's a
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: foundation that I'm working with a lady in Taste Valley.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: This is right in the Taste river bed where the
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: soil is so expansive that right now she has a
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: saturated soil conditions or has in over the last two years,
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: even during the drought, but it has actually picked this house.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: A portion of this house, I should say, off of
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: the helical piers, so the ground has swollen and it
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: has actually lifted. This house has been this way for
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: going on two years, maybe three years that I've been
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: involved with this property.
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: And it has to be pretty amazing.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: And do you run into situations where people you hear
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: about folks in their homes or whatever it might be,
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: where you get where you get kind of maybe nose
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: blind to smells, or you get sort of just blind
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: in general to problems that you might have around your
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: house or something along those lines. Do you see people
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: that allow for problems on their foundations to continue and
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: they've just sort of reconciut that with their life.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean certain Sometimes it might be denial.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: Other times it's that crack's been that size forty I've
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: been here forty years and it's been the same size.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: But oftentimes that crack has grown Normally cracks, aren't you know,
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: you don't put your fist in the crack, And it
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: represents a significant concern. Depending on the type of movement
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: lateral movement of a wall, it can be significantly out
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: of plumb and displace. But the cracks don't necessarily result
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: in that large of of a crack, Like if you
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: were measure the width of the crack, it's not necessarily
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: it doesn't always have to be that large. Some of
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: the smallest cracks, depending on their location, can can be
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: a signal to a much larger issue that somebody that's
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: trained in what you know in foundation damage and repair
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: would recognize.
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: As you know, a small crack can.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: Lead to a to look at, you know, thirty feet
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: away or twenty feet away to where the actual problem is.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: The uh and this is an extreme I remember years
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: ago when I was I used to do mortgages up
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: in Michigan and the company that that I was manager for,
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: that we that I worked for, we sort of were
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: pioneering where we would go to the location designing your
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: documents and stuff up until the closing, so you didn't
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: have to leave your house. You just have to come
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: to the bank for the closing. Anyway, there was this
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: one little house that I went to in a little
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: town called Homer, Michigan, and it was one of the
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: most trippy experiences I've ever had with the family. But
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: the one thing that was stark about the whole thing
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: is their house foundation was like a like a tepee,
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: like it had broken the middle almost and was coming
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: down on angles on the side, and they just lived
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: their life like they I think they even had a
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: table where they had sought off the legs so it
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: would set straight in their house at this angle. And
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: they didn't think there was a thing wrong with their house. Yeah,
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: you know, I would be.
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: I was talking.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: I was like, you you're wanting to finance this. Are
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: you looking to do a you know, like a functional
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: optionist loan where you're looking to do the repairs and
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: and escrow the money until the repairs are done. And
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: oh no, what do you mean we just want to
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: refinance the house. I mean, your house is broken in
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: the middle. You're not going to be able to do that.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: And sometimes people just trick themselves into thinking there's nothing wrong.
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: I mean I've dealt with a lot of different people
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: in this industry, in this in this and a lot
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: of it is based on expectations. I mean, one one
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: person's expectations on what is acceptable are very different than another's.
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: And and that's.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: Really truly what what drives our industry. There are are
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: people that are very, very fearful of and and there
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: are contractors that play on that fear oftentimes that's a
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: great point, but the expectations of the occupant drive so
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: much of what what gets done. That's okay is you
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: know some people are that way, and if that's that's
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: your attitude, that's perfectly fine. Now sometimes that's not acceptable
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: when you go to try to pull a mortgage or
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: or refinance that maybe the lender doesn't have that same
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: expectation and attitude.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: You have to have a floor that's not broken, and
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: it's probably a good a good rule of home.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: But and then and then you know, playing on the fear,
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: there are there are contractors out there that I come
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: in as to do an estimate after somebody else has
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: been there, and and and you know they that owner
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: has been has has had the fear of God put
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: in them that their house is going to literally fall
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: over or fall down the hill. And I'm I mean,
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: that's I've never seen. Yes, I've seen foundation walls collapse.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: That's very few and far between and an extreme and
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: it's that it is amazing how much a house will
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: move before for a collapse or a failure will occur.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: But it is very It's very rare that there is
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: a true safety issue that is is developed because of
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: a foundation issue. It takes takes some severe movement, and
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: that is that is a common thing that I'm I
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: see out there is people being preyed upon on that fear,
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: and that's it's not oftentimes that bad.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: And that's maybe not a bad point where you get
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: yourself a second opinion of some kind if somebody's if
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: somebody seems to be a little too apocalyptic about your problems,
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: maybe it's not not a bad idea to get a
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: second opinion and see if if maybe there's a little
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: more sober view of the thing.
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I'm we've got a job under contract. I'm
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: not sure when it's coming up, but I think it's
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: more of a summer job with it being more of
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: an excavation type project. But that's an example I can
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: remember that the whole unfortunately it was an it's an
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: elderly lady that owns the home, but her whole family
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: was involved with the process up the front, and fortunately
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: they had some sane minds and in the group that
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: understood that what they were being told was seemed a
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: little outlandish.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good to follow up on those things. One
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: of the things I have several working relationships with folks
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: that live out in La in Los Angeles in California,
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: and one of the crazy things that's happening out there
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: over the course of the last twelve months, of course,
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: is they had their massive drought conditions, then they had
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: the terrible fires in the area, and then they just
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: went through a month of rain. And my friends out
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: there are like, they're okay, But some of the surrounding
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: areas that are more hilly and things along those lines
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: where there's mudslides and stuff like that, they're having major
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: issues out there because they went from drought to crispy
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: to just like sludge, and so they're suffering some stability issues.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: But even then, it's not like they have houses sliding
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: down the hills necessarily stuff like that. You know, there's
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: you have to be sober about those sorts of things.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: It's a problem, but they're they're looking at it. But
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: I was just thinking about how unique that problem must
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: be where you're in a a whole different soil configuration
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: and then you're going through this freeze fall, fire mud cycle.
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: That's just got to be terrible in a foundation.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Yea.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: And I would imagine not having any vegetation left or
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: limited vegetation at least compared to what was there certainly
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: is plain and effect and effect there.
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I couldn't. I couldn't even imagine. That's that's some
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: pretty crazy stuff.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Bret Hodgon again once again as our guest here this morning.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: A couple of minutes left in the program. If you want
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: to try to get in before we get out of
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: here this morning, three zero four three four five fifty
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: eight fifty eight is our number. Our text on numbers
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: threes or four non three five five zero zero eight
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: three zero four non three five five zero zero eight.
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: You're welcome.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: Becaves a call in the last couple of seconds here
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: if you have any questions as far as that goes,
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: as far as as scheduling and getting on on your
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: list and things like that. You're obviously with the type
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: of projects you take on, you put people on a schedule,
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: so it's not like they call you on Wednesday and
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: you want to be out there Saturday. More than likely
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: it's it's at least not to finish the job. So
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: if people need to contract foster to first to get
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: an estimate and then to get on on a project list.
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: What's the most of steps they need to take.
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: So you can get you can either email us. You
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: can email us, you can we have this the widget
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: on our website where you can contact us that way,
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: and then Amber will get back with you about actually
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: scheduling a date and time, or of course you can
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: call the office and she'll Amber my wife does all
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: the business side of things, the scheduling, the payroll, of
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: all the important stuff that needs to get done. But
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: she she does all our scheduling. So you talk with her,
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: she'll get you set up. And then at that point,
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: I'm our only engineer estimator, so I'll come out and
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: evaluate the situation and then typically within a day, within
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: twenty four hours, most often, I'll have an estimate out.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: More complicated projects will take longer if there's if there
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: is any real life calculations engineering calculations. Normally, what I'll
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: do is I'll do some preliminary, quick preliminary stuff to
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: kind of roughly sized beams, and I address this in
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: our estimate that this is you know, here's where I
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: expect us to fall with sizes of beams and then
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: and then ultimately if we go through with the project,
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: we'll sit down and actually do formal uh formal design
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: work on that project. But so essentially call Amber, talk
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: with Amber, she gets see on the schedule, I come
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: out and do the estimate. After that, if if if
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: the estimate we've provided is is the scope of work
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: somebody wants to proceed with, they sign a contract and
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: that gets them in our our project Q and then
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: from there it really depends on the type of project
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: when it gets done. But essentially as the as chopped
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: projects come in, they they typically will get put at
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: the end of the line and we just move through
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: the list in order unless unless one group, one of
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: our crew's skill set is better suited.
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: And gotcha right now.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: So if we're backed up on like digouts right now,
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: excavate x here, excavations and waterproofings where this is not
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: a good time of year to do that, so we'll
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: start that back up in March ish depending on whether
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: and that you know, whoever got held over from last
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: year last fall will be the first up to get
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: started there and that that would that's kind of the process.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I encourage you to reach out because one thing
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: that I've discovered on doing the show with Brett over
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: the time is is that you will work with folks
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: and transparency is a big deal for you. So you'll
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: help them make decisions it's going to be best for them,
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: that fits within their budget as most as possible, that
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: still gets.
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: The work done.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: You will work with people to make sure that they
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: get the project that they want on the schedule and
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: then put it on the schedule. So that transparency in
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: working with folks really helps out a lot.
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: I think.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yesterday I went to a house owner had a
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: generator put in. The guy installing the gas noticed a
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: cracked floor choice, so that was the purpose of me
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: going out there, and after talking through with the owner,
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: she decided that it wasn't critical to her, and so
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: there was you know, I didn't provide her an estimate.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: She's not doing any work, and I explained to her
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: it's probably it's nineteen forty's house that's probably been there
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: for forty years, right, So yeah, yeah, we'll get you on.
