Drainage Inspections that Homeowners Can Trust
Improper drainage can damage a home undetected—and improper damage over time leads to costly repairs. As a homebuyer, you won’t always catch drainage issues with a general inspection.
That’s why a detailed drainage inspection by expert structural engineers is so valuable. FEI’s professional team knows all the structural elements that contribute to drainage problems—and we’ll give you a thorough drainage inspection you can rely on.
Put your mind at ease with home inspection services that catch drainage issues before you have to deal with them. Contact us today.
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
