KB Foundation Repair

Over the years, our team has had the opportunity to work on homes all across Texas. From small towns to growing cities, we've seen a lot of what makes this state special.

That got us thinking...

If someone was visiting Texas for the very first time, where would you take them?

It could be a restaurant, a landmark, a small town, a local attraction, or a hidden gem that most people have never heard of.

Let's see how many great Texas destinations we can fill the comments with!

Let’s talk about trees.

Large trees can add a lot of value to a property, but they can also create hidden challenges for homeowners when they are planted too close to a structure.

Tree roots naturally seek moisture and can extend surprisingly far from the tree itself. In many cases, roots can stretch 2 to 3 times the width of the tree’s canopy, and in some situations even 50 to 100 feet or more depending on the type of tree and the soil conditions. As they grow, they can begin to influence the conditions around a home’s foundation.

In Texas, where clay soils expand and contract with changing moisture levels, that added root activity can contribute to uneven soil conditions and gradual foundation movement over time.

The impact is not limited to foundations. Expanding root systems can also lift or crack sidewalks, driveways, and patios as they push through or grow beneath concrete surfaces. They can also interfere with underground plumbing lines, especially older pipes that may already be vulnerable to shifting soil or intrusion.

KB Foundation Repair offers root barrier system installations designed to help protect your home by redirecting root growth away from critical areas like your foundation, concrete, and underground utilities.
If you would like to know whether a root barrier system is right for your property, schedule an inspection with our team.
