Root Barriers - Lee Sprinkler, Drainage, and Foundation Preservation

DO TREES AFFECT YOUR HOME’S FOUNDATION IN GRAND PRAIRIE? ABSOLUTELY!

A skillful installation of root barriers in Grand Prairie has the potential to create a substantial impact, potentially postponing or even eliminating the need for foundation repairs. These barriers can effectively collaborate with corrective piers, ensuring their lasting effectiveness.

When trees flourish in close proximity to a foundation, they possess the ability to significantly modify the moisture levels in the underlying soil. Their root systems draw significant amounts of water from the soil, leading to noticeable volume changes like shrinkage and expansion. Consequently, segments of the foundation lacking support might experience settling. To tackle this concern, several solutions are available, including adjusting watering schedules, removing the tree(s), or considering the use of root barrier(s) to mitigate the influence exerted by trees or shrubs
