DO TREES AFFECT YOUR HOME’S FOUNDATION IN SOUTHLAKE? ABSOLUTELY!
Strategically introducing root barriers in Southlake holds the promise of generating a substantial impact, potentially postponing or even obviating the necessity for foundation repairs. These barriers can synergize with corrective piers to ensure their ongoing efficacy.
When trees flourish in close proximity to a foundation, they possess the capability to significantly modify the moisture levels in the underlying soil. Their root systems draw out considerable quantities of water from the soil, resulting in noticeable changes in volume, including both contraction and expansion. Consequently, sections of the foundation lacking adequate support may undergo settling. The incorporation of root barrier(s) can contribute to mitigating the influence exerted by trees or shrubs.
