Established neighborhoods have large trees close to houses. Roots draw moisture from the soil unevenly, so one side of a Rosenberg slab can dry faster than the other. That is one factor among several and varies by lot. A technician locates the leak before saying what caused it. In Fort Bend County, damp ground can hide a leak’s moisture in the soil.
