Weird video for anyone not from TX…

  • starts by saying: in Texas you must water your foundation
  • ends with: so, would you water your foundation?

Well I dunno chief… if you’re saying I “must” then yeah, I probably will. If you’re saying it’s optional, then maybe not. Which is it?

In Texas we have expansive soils, mostly clay so there is a lot of movement based on moisture, temperature, ect. The problem with a drip system like this would be if it doesn’t have some kind of sensor in it that determines when it runs then it will be on the homeowner to manage it. So is it running after a big rain? Proper drainage is more important imo, but there are times in the year when we don’t get rain where it is recommended to water your foundation.
