Effective systems for watering the foundation

[Rajiv Nair]

Hello BP Gurus,

I have a rental property in Allen, Texas (North Dallas-Forth worth area) and its recommended to keep the immediate area around the foundation watered, to avoid foundation issues. I have gone through multiple automatic sprinkler systems (bought from home-depot/lowes) in the course of 5 years and none of them lasts more than a year unfortunately. I wanted to get some tips/ recommendations from folks who have implemented cost effective systems with longer lifespan and less maintenance. Thank you for your time.

Kind Regards,

Rajiv
