A foundation watering program and/or system can, in many instances, be implemented rather than installing piers to relevel a foundation. If the house has been out of level for an extended period of time (several years), it is probable that watering will not cause the foundation to become more level. If the differential settlement has been caused by washing away of soil or by movement of a fault, then watering of the soil will have little or no effect. The results of a watering program is usually much slower than installation of piers.
