The Drainage Danger

Even though it’s essential for life on planet Earth, water can be quite a pain when it causes serious property damage. Water is great at seeping into those areas of our home that are most vulnerable and causing the most mayhem possible. Results can be devastating and property owners must be diligent in protecting their property from the environment and changes in the flow of stormwater caused by others. As water damage experts, we have the ability to find the root cause of your drainage issues before the problem gets out of hand. If left unresolved, standing water can eventually lead to mold, mildew, and even structural problems.

As experienced engineers and hydrologists, we are able to determine the source of your problem as well as the best possible solution. To identify if you have a drainage problem in your home, look for the following warning signs:
• Houses Built at the Bottom of a Hill
• Soggy, Wet Yards
• Yard Erosion
• Crawl Space Water Damage
• Basement Water Damage
• Seepage from the side of a hills
• Surface Water Drainage onto a neighbor
• Storm Flooding in heavy rains

Almost 100% of common drainage problems are from homeowners whose house sits at the bottom of a hill. If your house is at the bottom of a hill and you’ve been experiencing drainage issues, all is not lost. When purchasing a home that sits at a lower elevation than the surrounding homes, have a qualified water damage expert inspect the storm water drainage. This will root out any potential problems that may exist which can later prevent damage to your property.

When buying a home, most people are focused on kitchen appliances and wood floors, but the exterior of the house and yard are extremely important considerations. The storm water must be collected and routed away from the property to a suitable outlet, which is a task our Civilogistix professionals can accomplish for you. http://civilogistix.com
