Water is the root cause of most foundation movement on Monroe's clay. Ground that slopes toward the house, short downspouts and low spots that hold water all keep the soil under one side wetter than the other.
Drainage work can include regrading, downspout extensions, French drains and surface drains. It costs far less than piers and often prevents the next repair. Some homeowners need drainage fixes along with pier work.
During long dry spells, keeping the soil around the foundation evenly moist (not soaked) can also reduce shrinkage. Ask your contractor what makes sense for your lot.
What does it cost?
Drainage projects vary widely, from a few hundred dollars for downspout extensions to several thousand for French drains and regrading. These are estimates; get a written quote.
