DO TREES AFFECT YOUR HOME’S FOUNDATION IN THE COLONY? ABSOLUTELY!
Strategically introducing root barriers in The Colony holds the promise of generating a substantial impact, potentially delaying or even obviating the necessity for foundation repairs. These barriers can work synergistically with corrective piers, ensuring their ongoing efficacy.
When trees flourish in close proximity to a foundation, they have the capability to significantly modify the moisture levels within the underlying soil. Their root systems extract significant amounts of water from the soil, resulting in noticeable changes in volume, such as contraction and expansion. As a result, sections of the foundation lacking adequate support may encounter settling. The incorporation of root barrier(s) can assist in mitigating the impact exerted by trees or shrubs.
