The grading and drainage around your property are critical for managing surface water and serving as the primary defense against foundation deterioration.
What We Inspect
-
Soil slope and elevation around the foundation
-
Downspout discharge locations and extensions
-
Signs of pooling water or active soil erosion
-
Window wells, catch basins, and yard water flow
Why It Matters
Poor grading is one of the leading causes of basement moisture and structural damage. When water is directed toward your home instead of away from it, hydrostatic pressure builds against the foundation walls, leading to leaks, cracks, settlement, and potentially severe mold issues.
