It is critical to keep the ground moist around your foundation during North Texas summers. If the ground is allowed to dry out, the foundation can settle, crack, and cause all sorts of structural problems. The dry clay soil will pull away from the foundation, causing even further problems. Cracks in walls, doors sticking, broken bricks on the veneer of the home, and lines and cracks in the floor can be signs of more trouble ahead.
Moist soil prevents these problems. Zone seven on the irrigation system is a foundation drip line that can put small amounts of water into the soil roughly 12 inches way from the foundation. Run for just a few minutes a day during the warm Texas summers keeps the ground around the house moist.
The foundation is also very solid at 120 Brown Knight. 34 holes were drilled under the foundation to 30 feet deep! These were filled with concrete and support the foundation from the shifting clay in the area. Rest assured that the foundation is well taken care of. Show it just a little bit of love with some water a few days per week and it will take care of you and your family for generations to come.
