FAQ

Common Questions
About Drainage & Grading

01How do I know if I have a drainage problem?
Standing water after rain, soggy areas that never dry, water pooling near your foundation, or erosion on slopes are all signs. During a consultation, I'll identify the source and recommend solutions.
02What's a French drain?
A French drain is a sub-surface trench filled with gravel and a perforated pipe that redirects water away from problem areas. It's one of the most effective solutions for yard drainage issues.
03Can drainage issues damage my foundation?
Yes — water pooling near your foundation is one of the most common causes of basement moisture and structural issues. Proper grading and drainage solutions protect your biggest investment.
