Free Report Helps Home Owners Recognize Early Warning Signs of Structural Failure Before Catastrophic Damage Occurs.

In an effort to help homeowners identify the early warning signs of structural damage, Nashville area structural repair and waterproofing company, Vintage Construction, Inc. is releasing a free report entitled 12 Early Warning Signs of Foundation Failure and Water Intrusion That Every Home Owner Must Be Watching For.

Nashville, TN October 5, 2004 -- Though minor settling of a home is normal in the years following construction, homes built on expansive soils may experience a structural condition known as foundation failure.

Soil around a structures foundation expands as it absorbs water from leaky pipes or run-off left behind by inadequate drainage methods. Once the water is absorbed by deeper layers of earth the soil surrounding the foundation will contract again. Season after season of soil expansion and contraction can lead to foundation heaving and settling. Over time this can cause severe foundation failure.

Foundation failure damages the structure of a home and results in a loss of real estate value. More than one unsuspecting homeowner has been forced to utilize radical procedures like filling their basement with gravel in a desperate attempt to save their home from collapsing. Fortunately, expensive and frustrating catastrophes like these can be prevented if homeowners watch for the early warning signs that indicate foundation movement.

Vintage Construction, Inc. a waterproofing and structural repair company based outside of Nashville, TN has written a report entitled 12 Early Warning Signs of Foundation Failure and Water Intrusion That Every Home Owner Must Be Watching For. The eight page report is written in plain English by owner Scott Walter and includes helpful photos to aid homeowners in the early identification of foundation problems.

Ive been in the industry a long time and have seen a lot of unique failures in a variety of situations, Scott says. Its amazing how destructive Father Time and Mother Nature can be. I love solving problems using advanced technical solutions. I guess you could say I have a passion for what I do.

Debbie Walter, Scotts wife and President of Vintage Construction states, I believe a house is more than just a building its where families come together and make a home. That home should feel safe, warm and secure.
