Hottest Temps of 2024 Expected in San Antonio This Week: How to Protect Your Foundation
Beat the Heat and Keep Your Home Strong!
With temperatures soaring to record-breaking highs of 103° to 108° this week in San Antonio, it's not just your comfort that's at stake. Extreme heat can also put stress on your home's foundation.
How Extreme Heat Affects Foundations
- Soil Expansion and Contraction: The rapid temperature fluctuations can cause the soil beneath your home to expand and contract unevenly, leading to foundation settlement or movement.
- Increased Moisture Evaporation: Hot, dry weather can cause the soil to dry out, which can also contribute to foundation settlement.
- Stress on Structural Components: The intense heat can put stress on various components of your home's structure, including the foundation.
Tips to Protect Your Foundation During Extreme Heat
- Monitor for Signs of Foundation Problems: Keep an eye out for cracks in walls or floors, uneven floors, or doors and windows that stick or become difficult to open or close. These could be signs of foundation issues.
- Maintain Proper Drainage: Ensure your gutters and downspouts are clear of debris to prevent water from pooling around your foundation.
- Landscaping Precautions: Avoid planting large trees or shrubs too close to your foundation, as their roots can cause damage.
- Consider Foundation Inspections: If you have concerns about your foundation's health, schedule a professional inspection to assess any potential damage and take preventative measures.
