Maintenance Tip
Maintaining proper drainage at the perimeter of your foundation can mitigate or prevent many instances of foundation movement.  Surface water should not be allowed to pond near the foundation.  Proper drainage when combined with a diligent watering program is your best approach to minimizing foundation movement.
