  1. WATERING YOUR FOUNDATION DURING SUMMER HEAT Engineering services for Irrigation, Sprinkler, and Foundation Preservation in Texas. www.leesprinklerdrainage.com

  2. CONSISTENT MOISTURE LEVELS: The soil beneath your foundation can shrink and expand due to changes in moisture levels. In hot, dry summer conditions, the soil can dry out and shrink, potentially causing your foundation to settle or crack. www.leesprinklerdrainage.com

  3. DEEP AND EVEN WATERING: It's crucial to water deeply to encourage the roots of trees and shrubs near your foundation to grow downward. Use a soaker hose or a drip irrigation system to provide a slow, steady water flow, allowing it to penetrate the soil deeply. www.leesprinklerdrainage.com

  4. EARLY MORNING OR LATE EVENING WATERING: To minimize evaporation and ensure the water has time to soak into the soil, it's best to water your foundation early or late in the evening when temperatures are cooler. Avoid watering during the hottest parts of the day, as much of the water may be lost to evaporation. www.leesprinklerdrainage.com

  5. MONITOR SOIL MOISTURE LEVELS: Pay attention to the moisture levels in the soil around your foundation. Use a moisture meter or dig a small hole to check the depth of moisture penetration. Adjust your watering schedule accordingly, making sure the soil stays consistently damp but not waterlogged. www.leesprinklerdrainage.com
