We found this great article that talks about the importance of watering your foundations and we wanted to share this information with y'all as we're starting to hear more and more about people having issues that could have been prevented.
Foundations in Texas should be watered using soaker hoses 12 to 15 inches away from the foundation. Run about 2 hours a day until the gap between the house and dirt closes up. If there is no gap, about 30 minutes 2 or 3 times a week would probably suffice. Sprinkler systems don't really help with the foundation.
And in our opinion, you should water your patios and slabs as well. Especially with this year's summer being one of the most miserable and hottest ones on record so far.
Stay cool and hydrated friends and don't forget to apply sunscreen!
We’re expecting another hot day in North Texas today. While YOU might be prepared for the heat, is your home ready? NBC 5’s Samantha Chatman is here to show us how to keep our home foundations in place throughout the hot Texas summer.
