Lawn drainage that keeps water off your foundation
A lot of basement water starts in the yard. If it collects against the house, it finds a way in.
Signs the yard is part of it
- Puddles near the foundation after rain
- Downspouts that empty right at the wall
- Soil that slopes toward the house
- A basement that only gets wet during storms
- Soft, soggy ground that stays wet for days
What yard drainage can include
- Changing the grade so water runs away from the house
- Moving downspout outlets farther from the foundation
- Drain lines that collect and carry surface water off the lot
Which of these fits depends on your lot. We look at it with you at the free visit.
Yard drainage handles water that collects around the house. If groundwater is coming up through the floor, you will also need drainage inside the basement.
Common questions
How do I know if my yard is part of the problem?
Water pooling near the foundation after rain, downspouts that empty right at the wall, and soil that slopes toward the house are all signs. A basement that only gets wet during storms often points to the yard.
Is yard drainage enough to dry out my basement?
Sometimes. If water is only getting in because it collects against the house, fixing the yard can solve it. If groundwater is coming up through the floor, you will also need drainage inside. We will tell you which applies.
