Water Damage
Having the right drainage system around your home, or correctly maintaining and looking after the system that you have, can help to prevent your foundation experiencing water damage. Water that’s allowed to pool and stagnate around the base of your home can often find its way into your foundation. Concrete is a porous material and can absorb water. The problem here is that as water freezes and thaws as the weather changes it can expand the concrete and cause serious damage to your foundation. This is why preventing any water damage is so crucial for protecting your home and foundation.
Prevent Problems with The Soil
Correct drainage around your home can prevent water causing any issues with the soil. Why is this so important? Well, many foundation problems, in particular settling, can be caused when water causes problems with the soil. Water can wash away the soil, a common cause of settling problems, or excessive moisture can linger in the soil beneath the foundation which can also result in issues. Either way, the maintaining your drainage system can help to prevent any problems with your soil and protect your foundation. This is one easy way that you can prevent serious problems from occurring.
