Don't Let Your Foundation Suffer in Summer Heat!!! Why lack of water causes foundation problems
Foundations are designed to have continuous support from the soil. In the heat of summer the soil shrinks and moisture evaporates, causing the soil to pull away from the footing, which allows the footing to drop or rotate — depending on how the footing is loaded. In some instances, foundations can both drop and rotate.
The areas of a structure to move first are typically the southeast and southwest corners. The corners are the heaviest areas of the structure, therefore they are the most likely areas to settle. The south wall has more wind and sun, causing the soil to dry out more quickly.
How watering your foundation helps
Now, for some good news. There are things that can be done to prevent or minimize foundation damage. During extended periods of excessive heat, watering the foundation helps. The amount of watering is determined by the severity of the drought.
Irrigate your foundation with a water hose or sprinkler so it doesn't dry out, which can cause your house to shift. #foundationrepair #grandprairie #realtor #everman #fortworth #dfw #arlington #cedarhill #whitesettlement #granburytx #dallas #reliablefoundationrepairllc
Pushing back piles.
-
First dig of the year, and Im back at home in a machine. I ran this @bobcatcompany E55 at a good pace for 6 hours, and we excavated well over 80 yards.
-
The dig had its challenges, between the main electrical service, sprinkler lines, outdoor outlet feed lines, main well water line, and a propane line we had disconnected.
-
We had a large horseshoe driveway to work with, but it still required a regular push back of the spoil pile to maximize space as I worked along the front of the house.
-
Note: the missing tooth was lost in the last hour of the dig, and we pushed to just remove the loose material. We tried to find it in the earth, but it was literally like looking for a needle in a haystack.
-
Once we edit the full videos Ill start posting up those clips.

Good Morning and Happy Friday!!!⠀
⠀
Take a look at what our specialist, David, found in Torrance last week while performing a foundation inspection!⠀
⠀
Unfortunately for this homeowner, this post and pad wasn't the only one that looked like this. Posts and pads are an integral part of the foundation for a home on a raised foundation. The footing along the perimeter carries much of the structures load, but the posts and pads are what evenly distribute the weight of the flooring. Things like what's pictured will often lead to things like bouncy or uneven floors, and even hard to open and close doors!⠀
⠀
When was the last time you took a look in your home's crawlspace?⠀
