1. What is Foundation Shield?
Foundation Shield is a professionally installed, automatic foundation watering system that uses a subsurface drip irrigation method to maintain consistent soil moisture levels around your home’s foundation. This helps prevent costly foundation movement and damage caused by North Texas' extreme climate.
2. How does the system work?
Our system uses a network of subsurface drip lines that distribute water evenly around your foundation. It’s connected to an automatic timer, so your foundation receives consistent, regulated moisture without overwatering or guesswork.
3. Why do I need a foundation watering system in North Texas?
Clay soils in North Texas expand and contract dramatically with moisture changes, leading to foundation shifting or cracking. A foundation watering system prevents these changes by keeping moisture levels stable throughout the year.
4. How is Foundation Shield different from a standard sprinkler system?
Traditional sprinklers are designed for lawns and plants. Foundation Shield is a dedicated system installed below ground, specifically engineered to protect your home’s foundation through controlled, targeted moisture management.
5. Is installation disruptive to my yard?
Not at all. Our experienced technicians install the system with minimal disturbance to your landscape. We use precise trenching methods and ensure everything is restored once the installation is complete.
6. How long does installation take?
Most installations take just a few hours. Larger or more complex properties may take a little longer.
7. Can the system be customized for my home?
Absolutely. Every Foundation Shield system is custom-designed based on a full foundation evaluation. We account for soil conditions, landscaping, slope, sun exposure, and structural layout.
8. Do you offer a warranty?
Yes, we offer a Lifetime Warranty on all Foundation Shield installations, as long as the system is properly maintained by the Foundation Guys. We will cover all materials and labor at no additional cost.
9. Do I need to maintain the system?
Minimal maintenance is required. Due to seasonal weather patterns, we recommend periodic inspections to ensure optimal performance. We offer routine ongoing maintenance service plans to ensure proper system performance.
