Recent rain causes foundation problems for East Texas homeowners
TYLER, Texas (KETK)– Torrential downpours that have hit East Texas recently are causing foundation issues for homeowners. Candidates vie for Tyler mayor's seat after Warren's departure in 2026 Trust Foundation and Repair in Tyler is getting more calls for problems underneath houses and mobile homes. 'Normally we'll get a little bit of rain a few days dry. This year we've gotten drastic amounts of rain over and over and over again,' Trust Foundation and Repair project manager Timothy Wilson said. Wilson told KETK that repeat flooding can cause long term issues under homes. 'It allows moisture to enter and start rotting out the beams in the subfloor on the homes,' Wilson said. State Rep. Trent Ashby announces reelection campaign The unchecked water can cause washouts underneath the home and exterior issues like cracks in bricks. Other signs of foundation issues are cracks above doors, windows and malfunctions in those areas. Wilson's advice is to divert the water away from the home. 'You want to divert the water away from the home, so it's not falling right next to it. Gutter systems are very important, but even on those, you want to put a diverter to take the water as far away from the house as you can,' Wilson said. When the sun finally comes out, the water evaporates and gets caught as it rises with nowhere to go. 'You don't know it until it's a major problem, there's no way to see it, so the key is, just to keep the water away from the home completely,' Wilson said. Gov.

At some point, the MNPD helicopter advised that the Honda had crossed over the center line and drove in the opposite lane of traffic. Due to the speed and danger to the public, MNPD officers said they decided to deploy spike strips near the intersection of Buena Vista Pike and Stokers Lane. Despite the successful spike, officers said the driver continued to flee and drove to Clarksville Pike near Ashland City Highway, where a marked MNPD vehicle attempted to conduct a traffic stop. An arrest report states the Honda did not stop and drove to the intersection of Clarksville Pike and Kings Lane before it fish-tailed in the driveway of a Kwik Sak gas station. The MNPD helicopter said the driver—later identified as 39-year-old Timothy Wilson—got out of the stolen vehicle and ran into the woods. As Wilson was running away, his 4-year-old son reportedly got out of the vehicle and began to run after his father. Officials said Wilson 'knowingly placed his juvenile son in imminent danger by fleeing at a high rate of speed in the stolen vehicle, running red lights, and crossing into oncoming lanes, which could have resulted in a crash with injuries.' | READ MORE | According to police, a records check of Wilson's driving status in Tennessee listed his status as revoked.
