If you own a home in Texas, chances are you’ve heard about foundation piers, and maybe not in a good way. These supports, often used to rescue a home after foundation damage has already occurred, can come with hefty price tags and major disruptions. But what if you could avoid all that stress and expense before your foundation ever begins to crack?
The Foundation Guys believe prevention is the best (and most affordable) solution. Our proactive foundation watering system, Foundation Shield, is designed to protect your home before damage begins, helping you dodge costly repairs and giving you a reliable, low-maintenance solution.
The Problem: Expansive Texas Soil
Texas is famous for many great things, but unfortunately, it’s also known for expansive clay soil. Clay soil shrinks dramatically during dry spells and swells when it rains. These constant shifts put enormous pressure on your home’s foundation, leading to cracks in walls, sticky doors, sloping floors, and serious structural issues over time.
Traditionally, once this damage sets in, foundation piers are installed to stabilize the home. These concrete or steel columns are inserted into the ground and transfer your home's weight to more stable soil layers below. While they’re effective at repair, they are reactive solutions used after the damage is already done.
And they aren’t cheap. Repairing a pier and beam foundation in Texas can cost anywhere from $2,000 to over $20,000, depending on the severity of the damage and the number of piers required. That’s a tough bill to swallow, especially when the entire issue could have been prevented with a far simpler solution.
The Solution: Foundation Shield’s Proactive System
Instead of waiting for your foundation to break and then scrambling to repair it, Foundation Shield helps you solve the problem of uneven soil moisture. Our automatic subsurface watering system maintains consistent moisture levels around your home, reducing the dramatic soil movement that causes foundation stress in the first place.
Think of it like an irrigation system, not for your lawn, but for your foundation. When the soil stays properly hydrated, it won’t contract and expand wildly, which means your foundation stays stable from season to season.
