The soil in Rowlett Texas has a high content of clay, which means it absorbs water from the ground. When it has been raining, the soil tends to expand. In periods of dry spells or droughts, water leaves the soil, allowing the soil to shrink.

This process of expansion and shrinking over the years puts a burden on your home’s foundation. Otherwise known as a “slab”, your foundation gets pushed up by the force of the soil expansion, then lowers when the soil is dry and compacted. As this happens, the water supply lines and sewer lines can get bent or even squashed, creating tiny breaks in the water pipes. This water finds its way up through minute cracks in the slab into your house. This is known as a slab leak. For further information, visit this page. 

Preventing Slab Leaks

As a resident of Rowlett, you’ve probably heard that it’s not if you’ll have a problem with your home’s foundation, it’s a matter if when it will happen.

There are a couple of things you can do to help slow down the expansion & contraction of the soil under your slab. 

Water Your Foundation

Foundation experts will advise you to “water your foundation” which means making sure it doesn’t dry out too much. If you have sprinklers, are they adjusted so that the soil near the house will benefit from the water. You can also purchase soaker hoses rather cheaply that provide a nice constant drip of water for a few hours at a time. There are several home improvement stores in the Rowlett TX area such as Lowe’s or Home Depot that carry soaker hoses.

By keeping the soil around your home slightly moist, it will help avoid too much movement in your home’s foundation.

Keep Excess Water away from the Foundation

Rowlett has seen its fair share of wild weather. 2015 saw a record rainfall for the year. It is important to make sure you have adequate drainage to take the rainfall away from your house. If water pools around the side of the house, it will end up soaking into the soil and eventually cause soil expansion underneath your slab. Rain gutters are an excellent way to keep rainfall away from the house and spread over the yard. Check your favorite home improvement store for their selection of DIY gutters or call in a professional to install some nice seamless gutters all around your home.

Clogged Toilets in Rowlett

Another frequent call we get is for clogged toilets. Sometimes they can be quite simple to fix, with a toilet plunger or maybe a toilet auger. This video shows how this is done.
