Quick Tips To Deal With Foundation Problems

Over-watering produces a surplus supply of soil liquid for suction to attract dampness below your foundation which could produce a steady location to start heaving and damaging your structure. Water only enough to help keep vegetation living and growing, not flourishing and lush through soaking the soil.

line to trickle on a cement pad or splash block that has been properly sloped from the foundation.

Loss of soil moisture from below foundation sides could cause foundation settlement. Consistently water landscape planting and area alongside every side of the foundation.  Set up automated landscape sprinkler systems.  Incorporate walk ways right beside the foundation.

Non-uniform drying on all sides of foundation from the sun or failure to provide watering on each side of the foundation may cause non-uniform foundation movements. Employ additional landscape water on desiccant sides of the foundation.  Use mulch to slow evaporative drying.  Grow high quality shade trees along with installation of a tree root/vertical wetness buffer.
