Common Residential Drainage Issues and Effective Solutions

Water always wins—unless you give it a path of least resistance. Here are the most common issues we see.

1. Downspouts Dumping at Foundation

Solution: Extension pipes. Move that roof water at least 10 feet away.

2. Negative Grade

Solution: Regrading with clay soil to slope away.

3. High Water Table

Solution: Sump pump installation to artificially lower the water level under the floor.
