After yesterday’s heavy rains, it is vital that you inspect your basement and property for exterior drainage issues. Is there dribbling water down your basement walls or by your basement windows? Do you have mini-ponds of standing water for days after a heavy rain? Does the water seem to be draining toward your home, not away from it?

If the answer is yes to any of these questions, we suggest you call Integrity Drainage Solutions today to arrange a free consultation.

Did you know exterior drainage problems affect 60% of all homeowners? Drainage problems may be seasonal or can develop over time. Typically, homeowners go for years before they even realize they have a persistent problem. These drainage issues will continue to worsen as water settles property features such as lawn areas, patios, driveways, and foundations, often causing preventable damage and expense.

After a heavy rain, inspect your home and property for any of these signs of water damage:

• Mold buildup,
• standing water ponding,
• mushy lawn areas,
• foundation issues,
• damp walls,
• water on basement floor.

Prevent Foundation Damage

The best way to prevent major water damage costs for your home: Fix your drainage! Improper drainage leads to gradual foundation damage. You can go for years and barely notice a problem. Then you reach a tipping point, and foundation damage can be a costly nightmare.

Foundation drainage problems can result from too much moisture as well as too little. Standing water around your home, large amounts of water dumped by gutter downspouts, or a negative slope of the area around your home can cause saturated soil, which seeps into and eventually erodes your foundation.

Do you see excessive puddling or ponding around your home after a heavy rain? Do your basement walls dribble water? Do you have small yet slowly growing cracks in your basement walls? All of the above questions are warning signs of foundation issues.
