MAINTENANCE
PANKEY FOUNDATION REPAIR
No amount of structural work on a foundation will
overcome poor drainage. Proper drainage may require
more dirt to be added along your foundation,
downspouts extended and / or splash blocks placed to
prevent soil erosion. Improper drainage will make it
virtually impossible to maintain a consistent moisture
level around the perimeter of your home.
Most major foundation movement can be
prevented if the moisture level in the soil is
maintained. Foundation problems associated
with expansive clay are usually caused by a
lack of moisture in the soil. As the soil dries, it
shrinks and can cause foundation settlement.
However, in some instances too much
moisture in the soil can cause foundation
movement. When the soil absorbs it can cause
floor heaving and bowing foundation walls.

MAINTENANCE
No amount of structural work on a foundation
will overcome poor drainage. Surface water,
whether from rain or watering, should not be
allowed to accumulate around or under your
foundation. Proper drainage may require
more dirt to be added along your foundation,
downspouts extended and / or splash blocks
placed to prevent soil erosion. Be sure soil is at
least 2 inches below the perimeter of the
foundation. Positive drainage is generally
considered to be 1" per foot drop away from
the house for the first 6' to 8', and should be
maintained throughout the life of the
structure. Improper drainage will make it
virtually impossible to maintain a consistent
moisture level around the perimeter of your
home.

MAINTENANCE TIP #1
The best way to look at your soil is to picture
a sponge. When water is squeezed out of a
sponge the majority of water is gone, but the
sponge is still moist to the touch. The ideal
condition for the soil around your home is
like that sponge - not wet, not dry, but moist
to the touch.
MAINTENANCE TIP #2
The best way to maintain a consistent
moisture level is with a properly regulated
automatic sprinkler system. If one of these
systems is not an option then the same can
be accomplished by placing soaker hoses
eighteen inches from the foundation and
regulating the water flow to one-fourth inch
in height until water is observed standing on
the ground. Take into consideration which
sides are shaded and not exposed to as
much direct sun.
MAINTENEANCE TIP #3
Most flowers and small shrubs do not cause
foundation problems. Large trees and shrub
roots will. These root systems can grow
under the foundation, thus causing
upheaval. These large trees and shrubs
remove tremendous amounts of water from
the soil. Ideally trees should be planted far
enough away from your home to keep the
roots away from your foundation.
