Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Where can I find information to repair my pier and beams on island?
    I live in texas on a coastal island Every rain and my yard floods I need to replace and repair posts beams in silt and sand. If I have to hire it done I still need to know how because most foundation companys around here are less than honest. While at it should I just raise the house up a level?

    • ANSWER:
      This web site may provide good info for you as it shows the technique used to repair (replace) wood with concrete, which is probably the way you should go. The company has a San Antonio office which might do work in your area. If not they should know a competitor that does.
      Unable to speculate whether you should raise the house up a level without more info, but that would be quite a bit more expensive. Make sure whoever you hire is reputable. Ask for references and check them out before signing any contracts.

  2. QUESTION:
    Break in water supply line where pipe enters the concrete foundation.?
    I,m in Texas (San Antonio) can I , the home owner, cut into the supply line. Cap all the pipes in the foundation. Go up the wall and make all my “cold water ” and “hot water” supply lines drop down from the attic. Can this be done legally or do I have to break the foundation and search for the leak?

    • ANSWER:
      There is no problem capping all your lines and running them overhead assuming your main feed doesn’t branch under the slab. You could cap one at a time and refeed to its outlet to determine if you need to do them all. Start with the one you think is most likely leaking. If you can isolate certain lines with valves, you can cut individual lines off and see if your meter stops running.

      Keep in mind that unless you use something like CPVC or PEX tubing, you cannot make drops from the attic on exterior walls unless you tear into the them for access. Internal wall drops are easier but in all cases make sure you watch out for electric lines when you drill your wall top plates. Copper pipe would require a lot of cutting and couplings. Electrical fish tapes can be used to pull PEX and would save a lot of wall repair and ultimately time and expense.

      Remember that only 2 fixtures should be fed off 1/2″ pipe so you will need to run some 3/4″ and then branch to feed certain areas like a bathroom cold side (3 fixtures). Or you can do a “home run” with PEX and run 1/2″ from a central header. Depending on the size of your house, you can do some plumbing research and with a decent helper repipe in a day or 2 saving about 00. With the savings it would be wise to invest in some pipe insulation for both the hot and cold lines in your attic. The hot lines will cool quickly in winter and the cold lines will get warm in summer in Texas.

      Good Luck!

  3. QUESTION:
    How to find history of Texas? To all the archeologists?
    How can I find old detailed maps of Texas? I want to become an archeologist one day and im trying to find old and ancient historical places in Texas so I can study rocks and layouts…etc But I cant find old maps where it would show me where to search for an abundant old town or maybe where some battles happened “not in San Antonio” where it would be a good place to learn. Or how do I go about finding historical places like that? For example: I went from Dallas to El Paso one day and took some small road in the middle of no where and end up finding a very old abundant place, it was probably 1800’s or so stone building that had only about 2 small broken walls sitting on a some sort of foundation… This is kind of stuff im looking for, old history where I can study and understand what kind of a building was there, try to re build it on my computer to see what it possibly looked like in those days, and from there I want to find out what happen, who lived there…etc And I have no clue how to find all this information… I think practice like that will do me good in college and work.
    Any help from archeologists would be much appreciated! Im not a digger- “black archeologist” and I dont believe in messing with historical places, I just want to understand and recreate old 1800’s and older places on my computer for my portfolio.
    I forgot to mention that one archeologist, long time ago, told me that I need to use Topography Maps?!? I cant seem to find it for Texas…

    • ANSWER:
      Try the Handbook of Texas website, links are in this Wikipedia article :
      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handbook_of_Texas
      The Handbook of Texas is a comprehensive encyclopedia of Texas geography, history, and historical persons published by the Texas State Historical Association (TSHA).

      I don’t know what part of the state you are closest to, the oldest Texas history (after the Europeans arrived) is along the Gulf Coast. The French, then the Spanish occupied many areas there between what is now Austin and the Gulf Coast. Much of the area is still rural and may have some buildings from that era still standing.

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidio_La_Bahia
      You can visit the Presidio La Bahía in Goliad, Texas.

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goliad,_Texas

      There are a lot of magnificent houses built in the late 1800s still standing in Cuero and Gonzales, Texas. Unfortunately, a lot of houses from that era have been torn down, probably because the owners died and the heirs could not find a buyer for the properties and the houses became derelict.

      The old jail in Gonzales is now a museum.

      Most of the area has been low-population rural, but the fracking oil business moved in that part of Texas around 2010 and now there is a lot of traffic on the county roads of large trucks hauling sand, gravel, chemicals, and water to remote drilling sites. It is not pleasant driving. Many abandoned farm houses have been renovated to become housing for drilling crews, if not bought outright.

      List of ghost towns in Texas
      This list of ghost towns in Texas might be a start, but some of them simply no longer exist; they were wiped out completely by hurricanes, or burned down by Indians or Spaniards, or the people abandoned the town when the railroads stopped running by and the buildings all decayed from the elements.

      One ghost town to look at would be Concrete, Texas. There are a few people living in the area. There is a two story brick building whose wood roof and second floor have rotted away; it looks to be sturdy enough to repair and use again.

      Interesting list that might be out of date, you will have to search for the Texas links.
