General Maintenance Procedures

(for foundations on expansive clay soil) Foundation problems caused by expansive clay soils usually develop when the amount of water in the soil changes non-uniformly under the foundation structure. The climate is such that these clay soils shrink when dry and swell when wet, resulting in the upward and downward movement of the property. If this occurs unevenly the foundation may become damaged. Foundation maintenance in general consists of one major concept; the moisture level in the soil and around the foundation shall be as consistent and uniform as possible at all times. Some measures to help accomplish this are: 1. Install good ground coverage. This will prevent excessive moisture from seeping deep into the soil causing problems to the foundation structure. Good ground coverage will help maintain more consistent and uniform moisture levels in the soil beneath the foundation structure. 2. Water the soil around the foundation during dry periods, just enough to keep the grass near the foundation green and minimal cracking soil. More watering is needed in areas with more abundant shrubbery, plants, and trees. The south and west sides of the property are typically more exposed to the sun and may need more watering to offset rapid evaporation. 3. Never water too close to the foundation (12" - 18" is a good starting point). Never pour water directly into cracks in the ground. These cracks can go up to a few feet deep, and by pouring water into them you may reach normally undisturbed soil. Depending on the plasticity level (shrink/ swell potential) of the soil, the soil may heave upward, or it may consolidate and loose volume. Either way it undermines the foundation and causes problems. 4. Never place sand, sandy loam, or rocks around the foundation as fill. They are porous and allow water to pass quickly through creating "pooling/ drainage issues". Never allow water to pool (collect) around the foundation. If water is allowed to stand for too long it will seep under the foundation causing Problems
