In this episode, John and Kyle discuss the extreme weather conditions experienced
during the summer of 2023 in North Texas. They explain how the combination of a 100-
day heat wave, flash flooding, and a freeze had a significant impact on properties,
particularly those with clay foundations. They emphasize the importance of consistent
moisture around homes to protect against foundation damage and broken drain pipes.
They also discuss the potential consequences of neglecting these issues and offer
solutions such as using soaker hoses and watering systems.
Quotes:
“Clay can cause so many problems in this scenario because we've pulled drains out
where one of the breaks showed its ugly head.” - Kyle
“Watering your foundation is probably the most important maintenance item you can
do.” - Kyle
“If the brake is underneath the slab and water is pouring under the slab, you will
literally have an expansion of that slab and what we call up heaving. And that is
probably the most expensive foundation repair that you can do.” - John
Key Takeaways:
•Extreme weather conditions, such as a 100-day heat wave, flash flooding, and a
freeze, can have a detrimental effect on properties with clay foundations.
• Consistent moisture around homes is crucial to prevent foundation damage and
broken drain pipes.
• Neglecting foundation and drain pipe issues can lead to more expensive repairs in the
