The Benefits of Proper Drainage
Rain, standing water, melting ice, and other drainage problems can play havoc with a home. Fortunately, proper drainage helps homeowners protect their investment:
- Beauty — The right drainage system ensures that landscaping doesn’t wash away or look messy.
- Structural soundness — Proper drainage prevents water from pooling around your home and weakening your foundation.
- Pest prevention — Drainage eliminates standing water, so your home doesn’t attract mosquitoes, termites, rodents and other pests.
What To Expect During A Drainage Inspection
During a drainage inspection, our home inspectors will:
- Examine the yard
- Determine how water flows around the house
- Look for areas where water will pool
- Evaluate how water drains away from the foundation
- Provide a full report of findings, including drawings as needed
- Design a drainage system if needed, to address drainage problems
