Grading and drainage problems around your yard and home can be a serious problem. Not only does poor yard drainage wreck your landscaping, but it also significantly increases your chance of developing problems with your foundation such as cracks, leaks and mildew buildup that can spread and damage the wood and siding on your property.

Drainage problems can manifest in different ways depending on the particulars of your property, but a few of the most common symptoms of bad drainage and poor grading include:

Puddles and standing water
Wet Basements or crawlspaces
Erosion of property
Constantly soggy grass or flower beds
Foundation leaks and cracking
water pooling around driveways or patio surfaces
Water running toward building foundations

Think standing water on your property isn’t a big deal? You may want to reconsider! Poor drainage can actually create a variety of issues for your landscape and home. The issues range from water in your basement (and subsequent mold and mildew growth) to erosion, mosquitos, and much more.

For problems related to water in your yard, or your basement is leaking or even flooding, the first action we take is to develop a a plan to address any drainage and grading issues. The most common factors that can influence the interior problems are represented by poor downspout design, or a grade that slopes towards the foundation and other landscaping water flow problems on your property.

To avoid water entering your basement, pooling at your foundation, or around patios and driveways you must take care of the slope and contours of your yard. At Yunk Carpentry and Remodeling, our team of experts can work on improving the slope, allowing the water to flow away from your foundation. We’ll help you control runoff, eliminate puddling, and all-around resolve your existing drainage issues.
