Why Drainage Problems Are a Big Deal
Poor drainage doesn’t just look bad. It can lead to:
-
- Lawn and garden flooding
- Erosion on slopes or bare patches
- Damage to patios, retaining walls, and walkways
- Foundation cracks and structural issues
Ignoring the signs can cost you thousands down the road. The sooner you fix it, the better.
Signs You May Need a Drainage Solution
Not sure if you need help? Look out for these warning signs:
-
- Water pooling in low areas
- Soggy or soft spots in the yard
- Erosion after heavy rain
- Water stains or wetness near your home’s foundation
- Driveway or patio flooding during storms
If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to call in the pros.
