Root Barriers - Lee Sprinkler, Drainage, and Foundation Preservation

DO TREES AFFECT YOUR HOME’S FOUNDATION IN FARMERS BRANCH? ABSOLUTELY!

Strategically implementing root barriers in Farmers Branch offers the potential to make a substantial impact, potentially delaying or even eliminating the need for foundation repairs. These barriers can work in tandem with corrective piers, ensuring their continued effectiveness.

When trees thrive in close proximity to a foundation, they possess the ability to significantly alter the moisture levels in the underlying soil. Their root systems extract considerable amounts of water from the soil, leading to noticeable changes in volume, including contraction and expansion. Consequently, sections of the foundation lacking sufficient support may experience settling. The integration of root barrier(s) can aid in mitigating the influence exerted by trees or shrubs.
