This customer waited too long to stabilize his wall (click image to enlarge).

     Cracked walls and wet walls do not get better with time. The problems are not going to go away. They will continue to get worse and in turn be more costly to repair in the future. Wall cracks will grow wider over time causing more and more damage. Wet walls breed mold, mildew and nasty odors. Concrete block will rot and become brittle when subjected to years of water saturation.

     Right now is the best time to consider repairs. Why? The weather is drying out and any outside repair work will be less damaging to your yard. Another good reason not to delay...prices are as low as they are ever going to be! Everyone is struggling to keep their crews busy...an even to keep their doors open. You'll see the best prices that will ever be available...but not for much longer.

     The economy will come back...it always has and always will. When it does prices will go back up quickly. If you spend money on nothing else invest it in your home. You can't go wrong making needed repairs that will prevent further damage and problems at the best prices that you'll likely never see again in the future.

     Money well spent? You bet. Think about it.   Best wishes, jim.
