Water Is Often the Real Problem

New Braunfels sees hot, dry stretches broken up by sudden storms. Those swings drive the wet-and-dry cycle that makes clay soil expand and contract around a foundation.

Drainage correction is about keeping water moving away from the home so the soil stays more consistent. That can mean grading, gutter and downspout routing, or surface and subsurface drains.

Frequently asked questions

How does drainage affect my foundation?

When water collects near the home, the soil there stays wet while soil elsewhere dries out. That uneven moisture makes clay move unevenly, which stresses the foundation. Steady drainage helps keep the soil more stable.
