[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 1589776, member: 3099"] I had to have Olshan's pier the west side of my house. The engineer saw the soaker hose and said keep it up. What I did was wait too long and I got behind the curve. The west side of my garage wall had a full 1" gap between the brick and the garage door facia. My kitchen cabinets (farther along the same wall) were a good 5/8" away from the sheetrock. This was about 10 years ago that I had it fixed. They put the wall back to almost exactly where it was. It was pretty cool, those guys have it down to an art. No problems since. The idea is to keep [I]SOME[/I] moisture in the soil and to keep it reasonably constant. It might take a couple of weeks for the water to work into the depth needed. You don't want to run it every day. Probably every other day and then taper off to a couple of times a week once you get there. You don't want it muddy, just some measurable and somewhat constant moisture. [/QUOTE]
