Reduce the risk of foundation problems by managing soil moisture.

1. Water the perimeter of a concrete slab foundations to maintain consistent moisture. Do not over water. 

2. Avoid over watering pier and beam foundations or a damp crawl space may occur.

3. Avoid conditions that allows water to stand for long periods.

4. When in doubt have a landscape company or engineer survey the topography to assure proper drainage exist. Look for poor drainage after heavy or prolonged rains and correct if needed.
