In the Treasure Valley, the clay soil will expand and absorb water, however, the issue is the effect the soil and water can have on your home.

Foundations can last for many years with proper maintenance. According to Bob Vila, a concrete foundation can last up to 100 years or longer with solid construction and good maintenance. The best way to maintain foundations and avoid repairs is to place plants and shrubs away from the house, but near enough to absorb water. Have professionals like the Foundations First of Idaho team inspect your crawlspace for water intrusion or potential crawlspace repair needs. Additionally, point downspouts away from the drain.
