Foundation problems suck, and we don’t want you to have them. So what we want to do is talk about root. Barriers for your foundation and for trees. And it’s not too late to do root barrier after the fact. So we’re going to discuss that one. Yeah. And then we’re also going to discuss just because it is insanely hot out right now. Yeah, we’re going to discuss watering your foundation a little bit more and some expert tips become. All right. So that’s what we’re doing. Do you want to go first? Yeah, let’s go ahead and share the screen here, Omar, if we could, and show you some area right here. Does Well, the idea of the root barrier is it stops the roots from going any further. How does that happen? It just acts like a barrier showing it stops it right in its track. So right on the screen, you can see this product here in particular that just like, boom, it’s like a wall. It’s like, no, not going any further. So it’s a fabric material. And then on the material they have, there’s some stuff, right? It’s supposed to be allegedly totally fine and whatever that is. But it has, I don’t know, some herbicide on it where it doesn’t let it go any further. And you basically see over here how it’s applied and how it’s worked in. You can see that it’s not too far from the foundation or way from that area. Yeah. It encourages them not to cross that, that barrier. And then you put it in so far down, I can’t remember the exact distance depending on the size of the trees, but it’s like 24 inches, sometimes 36 inches deep. And then what it does, it reroutes them and then it goes down and under it so it doesn’t come up and attack your stuff. All right. So there’s a couple of different products. This happens to be one of them in particular that you can use. And what it basically just does is draw a line in this and it’s like, no. So if you guys have trees that are, you know, that are growing rapidly and you start to see. So, for example, in our front yard, we have a border of stone, a stone border enclosing our flower beds. And it started to crack. Right. And the one of the trees was growing and spreading and cracking that. So, you know, it’s a good time to now go in and you can do that after is go in and put that barrier into try to stop any further damage. Yeah. So if we’re talking about the roots of a tree and each tree is different and how they’re all constructed, but in general, wherever the canopy of the tree is, is where the root system is underneath it. So if you walk out and you have tree limbs over your property, right over the house, then you probably have invasion of roots into your house. And you probably already know all about foundation problems and about plumbing pipe problems and sewer problems as it relates to this. Yes. So to me, this is one of those things that kind of should be installed when you initially build the property to make sure that you have a good barrier in. So you don’t have this problem later on. Yeah. And you don’t want to kill trees. I don’t know how if it’s like kiddie property, they’re huge. So I don’t know. So something to think about. I think that would be an added bonus like at when you’re building a home. Yeah. That you just go ahead and add that around your foundation. Be smart. So think about it. Just go out front your property and walk behind it, walk all around it and see where the trees currently are and see if you need to put a trench in. Now, if you do right, then you’ll be trenching and then putting this material in and then obviously fill in that that dirt back in. But then what you need to do is control for the grade because we talked with an inspector just the other day and he was telling us how the grade away from the property. So if you have your home here how you have to grade the property away. Away, right. So it does. And there’s a certain slope that it has to be and it has to be up so high on the house, but not too low, because what happens is water comes in along the side of --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/realestatenewstv/message
