Root Barriers - Lee Sprinkler, Drainage, and Foundation Preservation

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

The strategic implementation of root barriers in Colleyville offers the potential for a significant impact, potentially delaying or even eliminating the need for foundation repairs. These barriers can work in harmony with corrective piers to ensure their continued effectiveness.

When trees thrive in close proximity to a foundation, they have the capacity to significantly alter the moisture levels in the soil underneath. Their root systems extract substantial amounts of water from the soil, leading to noticeable changes in volume, including both shrinkage and expansion. As a result, sections of the foundation lacking sufficient support may experience settling. The integration of root barrier(s) can help alleviate the influence exerted by trees or shrubs.
