Common Yard Drainage Problems

If your yard's drainage system is not functioning correctly, it can lead to serious issues like flooding, mold growth, and damage to your foundation. Here are some signs that you may need better draining around your house:

  1. Water pooling around the foundation: If you notice water pooling around the foundation of your home, it may be a sign that your drainage system is not effectively moving water away from your house.

  2. Water seepage in the basement: Water seepage in the basement is a clear sign that water is not draining away from your home properly. This can lead to mold growth and other structural issues.

  3. Soil erosion: If you notice soil erosion around your home's foundation or in your yard, it may be a sign that water is not draining correctly.

  4. Soggy yard: If your yard feels soggy or squishy underfoot, it may be a sign that water is not draining away from your property.

  5. Water stains on walls or ceilings: If you notice water stains on your walls or ceilings, it may be a sign of water damage caused by poor drainage.

  6. Cracks in the foundation: If you notice cracks in your home's foundation, it may be a sign that water is not draining away from your house properly. This can lead to further structural damage if left untreated.
