  1. 5 Causes Of Foundation Problems www.aquatechwaterproofing.ca

  2. 1.Inconsistent Moisture Control When using a moisture control system to water around the perimeter of your property. Remember to account for anything that could lead to inconsistent moisture levels. Too much or too little moisture can cause the soil around the perimeter of your property to swell or shrink. Respectively, when inconsistencies arise, you are more likely to see settlement in that particular area. Take into account concrete surfaces, landscaping trees, run off, down spouts and even your neighbors own watering habits. www.aquatechwaterproofing.ca

  3. 2. Lack Of Rain Run Off Management • It is essential to allow rain to be directed away from your foundation inconsistent pooling near the slab can cause settlement issues in those areas. Use downspout extensions and underground tubing to move that water away from your house. www.aquatechwaterproofing.ca

  4. 3.Improper Drainage Slope • It might not be enough to just have a drainage system installed to ensure that all waste is able to pass through the drainage and no blockage can occur, it would be wise to have the drainage system slope away from your foundation at three inches every 5 feet. www.aquatechwaterproofing.ca

  5. 4. Directional Sprinkler Systems • When using a conventional sprinkler system, make sure you have heads that are also pointing towards the foundation, you don’t want to over water, but you do want to assure your foundation is getting watered regularly. If using a hose end sprinkler, make sure you are using one that also drops water directly onto the ground rather than shoot it in the air. www.aquatechwaterproofing.ca

  6. 5. Watering While Windy • Even wind can have an adverse effect on foundation settlement while watering a decent breeze can cause a sprinkler system to not hit its mark . if it is noticeably windy outside, change the timer or delay watering until it dies down. www.aquatechwaterproofing.ca
