While drought conditions that have plagued Texas can take a toll on crops, landscape plants and lawns, extended dry periods also can cause shifting or cracking in the foundation of your home. Dry soil problems can be slowed by using a drip system to provide a consistent, but not flooding, water source to the soil immediately surrounding the home’s foundation. Foundation cracks can result from the seesaw effect of the winter rains/snow followed by drought-like summer conditions on the soil. When soil is extremely wet, it expands and lifts the foundation. When the soil becomes extremely dry it contracts and the foundation sinks.
Remember: the intent of foundation maintenance is to maintain a constant moisture content in the soil around and below the entire foundation and to prevent soil erosion that can result from water flowing off the roof or other large flat surfaces near the building. Landscape Geek can install your foundation watering system to help prevent the high cost of damages to your home’s foundation. Contact us for a free proposal.
