Were you looking for a foundation repair or garage foundation repair.


Surface water and plant life can be risks to your foundation. You should make sure that even during the wet season, no water is allowed to pool within around 5 or 6 feet of your structure. The water should be channeled safely away where it cannot over saturate the soil and risk damage to the foundation. Your gutters systems should not drain towards your house, and should also be channeled away from the structure.

The general rule as far as vegetation goes is to estimate the maximum height of the tree in question, and plant at least that distance away. This reduces the risk of even the most spreading roots damaging you’re the foundation. Shallow, sprawling root systems can reek damage on shallow foundations by spreading below them, affecting the soil moisture content, or even by heaving or cracking the foundation itself.
