Drainage issues are often overlooked but can cause serious problems for your property, landscape, and structures. If water is not properly drained, your home could face damage, leaving you with a large repair bill and a devalued property. Improper drainage commonly results in problems like mold, foundation damage, root damage to the lawn, plants and erosion and will continue to reoccur without a proper drainage system. A few signs that you need a new drainage system include:
· Soggy spots in your yard &/or pooling
· Rainwater flowing towards your house
· Foundation damage
· Persistent pooling water
· Erosion
· Dead grass, plants, and trees
· Overflowing gutters
· Water from downspouts drain closely to your properly
Some causes are:
* Improper grading (the slope of your yard or lawn)
* Lack of outlets for excess water
* Low points in your yard or lawn
* High amounts of thatch, or plant debris
* Compacted soil
If any of these problems exist, you might want to consider having:
* French drains, swale and/or a Dry well installed
* Grading
