Drainage Repair
Proper drainage of surface water around all foundations is essential for the stability of the foundation and its performance. The perimeter of all foundations is excavated to allow for the installation of the foundation, upon completion of the foundation the area is backfilled and most often not compacted. If water is allowed to collect in these areas the soils settles and the water is directed to the foundations supporting soil. This water puts the foundation and basement slabs in jeopardy.
Listed below are some of the main causes and need for drainage repair.
- Rain water being directed to a foundation from surrounding landscape.
- Water from roofs without gutters.
