Root Barriers - Lee Sprinkler, Drainage, and Foundation Preservation

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

An adept deployment of root barriers in Richardson can bring about a significant effect, potentially delaying or even obviating the requirement for foundation repairs. These barriers can work in synergy with corrective piers, ensuring their sustained efficacy.

When trees thrive in close proximity to a foundation, they possess the capacity to substantially alter the moisture levels in the underlying soil. Their root systems extract substantial quantities of water from the soil, leading to noticeable changes in volume such as contraction and expansion. Consequently, areas of the foundation lacking proper support might experience settling. The introduction of root barrier(s) can help mitigate the influence exerted by trees or shrubs.
