Water is fun, until it's not

Without proper drainage, water can collect around your home’s foundation, causing cracks and leaks. Over time, this can weaken your foundation, leading to costly repairs. Addressing drainage issues early can help protect your home from extensive damage.

Signs of Foundation Issues:

• Cracks in walls or floors
• Damp or musty odors in basements
• Pooling water near your home’s foundation

Standing water can erode soil, creating uneven surfaces and sinkholes in your yard. Poor drainage can also damage plants and landscaping by removing vital topsoil. Proper drainage prevents soil erosion, keeping your yard stable and attractive.

Signs of Yard Erosion:

• Pooling water or muddy patches
• Bare spots or exposed roots
• Cracks in patios or walkways

Excess moisture from poor drainage can lead to mold and mildew inside your home. Mold spores can cause respiratory issues and allergies, impacting your family’s health. Fixing drainage problems at the source helps prevent these health hazards.

Health Risks of Mold and Mildew:

• Respiratory issues, like coughing and wheezing
• Increased allergy symptoms
• Musty odors that linger inside the home
