Excess moisture is the leading cause of foundation failure in the DFW Metroplex. When water pools against your slab, it creates hydrostatic pressure that forces your foundation to shift and crack. At NTX-FRS, we design custom water-management systems that redirect runoff away from your home, ensuring your soil remains stable and your crawl space remains dry.
We don't just treat the symptoms. Richard Kennedy personally inspects your property's grading and soil moisture levels to identify why water is accumulating in the first place.
Our drainage plans are designed to work in tandem with our foundation repairs, providing a holistic approach to your home’s structural integrity.
We use commercial-grade basins, pipes, and pumps to ensure your system can handle the heavy, sudden downpours typical of the Texas climate.
Water is the primary enemy of a stable foundation in North Texas. When rainwater pools near your home, it saturates the expansive clay soil, causing it to swell and exert massive hydrostatic pressure against your concrete slab or crawl space.
Without a professional drainage system, this constant cycle of soaking and drying leads to structural shifting, cracked masonry, and costly interior damage. Investing in engineered drainage is the only way to stabilize the moisture levels around your home and prevent foundation failure before it starts.
We combine hydrological principles with structural expertise to prevent the "shrink-swell" cycle from destroying your investment.
By installing deep-trench drainage systems, we significantly reduce the pressure exerted on your foundation walls. This prevents the inward bowing and horizontal cracking often caused by saturated, heavy clay soil pressing against your home's structure.
We utilize laser-guided transit levels to calculate the exact slope of your landscape. This ensures that every drain and swale is engineered with the correct "fall," allowing gravity to work effectively and preventing standing water from stagnating.
