Tree roots and shrubs have become a frequent problem with residential property owners. They are realizing that they need foundation repair because of their landscaping. When trees and shrubs are located too close to the foundation perimeter then they will withdraw huge amounts of water from the expansive clay soils. This loss of water, combined with hot, dry weather, will result in soil shrinkage and the soil will lose contact with the bottom of the foundation. When the foundation loses its support it will collapse, creating damage to the building structure and the foundation. Sometimes tree root barricades can be effective in minimizing this problem.
