Root Barriers - Lee Sprinkler, Drainage, and Foundation Preservation

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

Properly installing root barriers in Irving holds the potential to make a substantial impact, potentially delaying or even negating the necessity for foundation repairs. These barriers can work in effective collaboration with remedial piers, ensuring their enduring effectiveness.

When trees thrive in close proximity to a foundation, they have the capacity to significantly alter the moisture levels in the underlying soil. The root systems draw considerable amounts of water from the soil, resulting in noticeable changes in volume, such as shrinkage and expansion. Consequently, sections of the foundation lacking support might undergo settling. To address this concern, several options are available, including adjusting watering routines, removing the tree(s), or contemplating the implementation of root barrier(s) to mitigate the influence exerted by trees or shrubs.
