Fix Your Drainage!
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. 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.

Creating a Precision Pitch
Efficient use of a drain tile system is an excellent approach to supplement the benefits of proper grading. A 4" drain tile backfilled with Limestone chips will absorb seepage under the center of a swale or other appropriate areas. Considering these pipes may freeze in typical Wisconsin winter, they should be used as a secondary drainage solution.
By using precision tools, we ensure 100% accuracy during the design and implementation of an efficient drainage system. Integrity Drainage Solutions are drainage experts who get it right the first time!

Fix a Negative Pitch
Mold and structural foundation damage are problems that may occur in
homes with improper drainage. A negative pitch of the grade provides a
direct path for water toward a home while adding harmful hydrostatic
pressure and voiding home foundation warranties. During the winter
months, water near a foundation wall can freeze and expand, therefore,
providing additional damaging pressure.

Spring Tips for Exterior Drainage
At this time of year, during the Winter thaw
and the Spring rains to come, it is very important to check a few items around
your home.
Make sure gutters and downspouts are
attached properly to the home. Tighten any
loose gutters and reconnect any unattached downspouts to help keep water away
from the house. It is imperative that gutters
and downspouts are clear and free-flowing.
If there is standing water against
the home's foundation, eventually it could find its way into your home. Have a drainage professional re-grade around your home’s
foundation. Creating a
positive and lasting pitch away from the home is important. It is a gradual pitch that an exterior
drainage specialist can measure for you.
It is never recommended to landscape around the home’s foundation
without a proper pitch and grade.
