Soil acts to drain surface water under normal conditions. After years without rain, soil has become compact, and therefore less porous for water absorption. Even moderate rains will cause flooding which is damaging to the homes foundation. The importance of proper drainage cannot be understated. A drainage system is designed to move water safely away from your home. Homes on slopes run the risk of soil erosion which exposes foundations and undermines structures, leaving it vulnerable to slides. Homes in flat areas could risk flooding from too much standing water which seeps into walls and basements leading to damp and mold. Do you recognize the signs of poor drainage? Standing water next to the house that just won’t drain, water stains in the basement, cracks in the foundation, flaking or mineral deposits on basement walls, even mildew under the eaves could be a sign of moisture traveling up through the house and condensing in the attic. Pay attention, when you water the yard, do gullies form in the mulch as water runs off your landscape? All of these could be signs that your home has poor drainage. Controlling water with a proper drainage installation will save your home from expensive damage.
