“Can I use my sprinkler system to water my foundation in Dallas Fort Worth?”
Proper irrigation is the first step to promoting healthy moisture balance. A sprinkler system gives your landscaping needed water and prevents plants from robbing moisture from your foundation. However, the water from your sprinklers is applied at surface level and doesn’t penetrate deep enough to counterbalance the extreme moisture deficit occurring several inches below the surface. A professionally installed foundation watering system is engineered to apply an even distribution of water below the soil’s natural evaporation line.
“Can I use a soaker hose to water my foundation?”
The problem with using soaker hoses to water your foundation is that they are not engineered to saturate evenly. Also, soaker hoses fail to take into account landscaping, sun exposure, and other factors that effect the soil moisture content. As such, if you are using a soaker hose to water your foundation, you may be doing more damage than good.
