I'm trying to get a few more years out of the slab before I have to
resort to piers. It gets very dry and hot in Austin over the summer.
From what I read, putting in the soaker hoses with the proper distance
and depth at least won't hurt--screwing that up *could* have problems.
It won't reverse any gradients that has happened, but the house was
within safe bounds when I inspected it before buying.

That and I was planning on running the hose around in a few places to
provide some water for gardening.
