How Seasonal Changes Affect DFW Home Foundations

Anyone living in the DFW area knows that it can be the land of extremes, from very wet to drought, from blistering heat to icy storms. For a home foundation, these seasonal extremes can be a problem. The Dallas TX expansive clay soils expand and contract with the seasonal moisture changes. Unfortunately, that means your foundation will also move with the clay. Seasonal changes are unavoidable but there are preventative measures that can help.

1. Avoid laying foundation during excessively moist seasons such as spring.
2. DFW Install foundation watering systems so, during dry periods, even soil moisture levels can be maintained around the foundation. Contact Arch for help installing foundation watering systems.
3. Even moisture levels are critical. Keep foundation landscaping to plants that will not pull water unevenly away from around the foundation.
4. Plant large trees back from the home. It is amazing how much water a tree pulls up through its roots which can lead to uneven moisture levels around the foundation.

Pro-Lift Steel Pile Foundation Repair System

Arch uses the patented PRO-Lift foundation repair system is customized based on each home’s foundation needs.

Pro-lift steel pilings have between 1 to 3 steel walls. The number depends on how heavy the building is and where the piling is located.
In special circumstances where there is an unusual potential for upward movement, each steel piling can be bound together with a tension-steel cable. The cable ties the bottom of the piling to the top and allows the lower portions of the piling to act as an anchor and to resist uplift.

For truly extraordinary situations, steel pilings can be isolated from the active soils with flanged steel sections.

Each steel piling can be fitted with a variety of caps. For standard loads, a circular steel caps are used to support standard trapezoidal concrete blocks, while T caps are used to lift unusually heavy loads. But circular caps and T-caps can both be fitted to accept most tension cables. Finally, each piling is filled with concrete grout. The grout increases the load bearing capacity to each piling and literally cements the sections together.
