If foundation work has already been completed, root barriers will assist the remedial piers in performing to their full potential long-term.
Trees growing too close to a foundation can dramatically affect the moisture content of the supporting soils within the zone of influence beneath the structure. Root systems extract large quantities of water from underlying soils and result in large volumetric changes in the soils (shrinkage and swelling).
As trees absorb water from the soil, the foundation of the home will settle in unsupported areas. The problems caused by these tree or shrub roots growing too close to the foundation can be resolved by manipulating watering patterns, removal of the tree(s) or installing root barrier(s).
