At first glance, it sounds reasonable — if plumbing and electrical work are licensed, foundation repair should be too. But that logic collapses when you realize this...

Once I saw the truth, I couldn’t unsee it. I could no longer convince families to spend their savings on a repair that I knew would likely cause long-term harm.

Most folks already know roots can crack or push. The bigger problem is water. Roots pull moisture from the soil at the slab edge. Our clay shrinks when it dries and swells when it’s wet. That movement shows up as gaps, sticky doors, and uneven floors. This continued cycle eventually leads to adverse foundation settlement and ultimately foundation damage.
