How Yard Drainage Protects Your Texas Foundation
In Central Texas, most foundation problems start with water. Get the water right and you protect the most expensive part of your home.
The clay-soil cycle
Expansive clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry. When the soil at the slab edge keeps going through wet/dry cycles, the foundation moves — cracks, sticking doors, uneven floors.
Drainage breaks the cycle
- Regrading for positive slope away from the slab
- French drains to intercept water before it reaches the foundation
- Buried downspouts so roof water doesn't dump at the house
Cheaper than a repair
Drainage is a fraction of the cost of foundation repair — and it's what makes a repair last. Get a free assessment.
