Foundation repair and maintenance for the 21st century is now here!
Using Foundation Guard® Moisture Control System provides a technically superior and more cost effective alternative to traditional foundation repair and maintenance.
The "traditional" answer to foundation repair has been to erect "piers" to jack up the foundation and raise it off the expansive clay soil. Piers have several distinct disadvantages and drawbacks. They are very expensive, installation is destructive to vegetation and landscaping, they often cause additional damage to the foundation and interior walls during installation, the foundation may fail again between pier locations, and often the piers themselves fail. When soil dries again and shrinks, the house begins to rely more and more on the support of the piers, which the original foundation was not designed to do.
Foundation experts and engineers advise that it is essential to maintain constant moisture of the soil around and beneath the foundation. Studies of foundation problems on clay soil at the University of Texas at Arlington have proven this to be true.
Foundation Guard treats the underlying foundation problem, not merely the symptoms. Foundation Guard®, our Moisture Control System, delivers the exact amount of water necessary to slowly replenish and maintain moisture around and beneath the foundation.
