FOUNDATION PROBLEMS

REASONS for FOUNDATION PROBLEMS
In Texas, clay soil expands and contracts with different moisture levels in the ground and can create foundation cracks and shifts. Poor landscaping design can create water flow problems weakening your foundation. Broken sewer or fresh water lines under a foundation can cause significant damage as well.

Tree or large shrub feeder roots can break sewer lines and cause soil and foundation movement. Feeder roots can reach as far as two miles from the host tree to seek water.

Did you know that one mature hardwood tree can use up to 500 gallons of water per day?
Ace can install a three foot deep rubber barrier between a tree and your foundation to keep the roots away.
