Drainage Repair Services for Dallas, TX, Homeowners
Fluctuating moisture levels around your home’s slab can lead to serious foundation and drainage repair problems. In fact, water can be your foundation’s worst enemy. Whether it comes from seasonal rainfall or landscape irrigation, improper runoff can cause costly damage to the perimeter of your foundation.
What causes poor drainage?
Poor drainage can be caused by lack of or unmaintained gutters, poorly designed landscape irrigation, and incorrectly sloped lots.
Gutters are engineered to move the flow of water away from your home. When it rains and water runs down the roof, gutters catch the water and reduces the amount of water that is otherwise dumped right near the foundation. Excess moisture causes clay soils to expand and can cause parts of your foundation to heave or settle resulting in loss of stability to your foundation and the need for drainage repair.
While home landscape irrigation systems are intended to make landscape care easier, poorly designed irrigation systems can be very harmful to your foundation. Overwatering and sprinklers placed too close to the foundation can cause water to gather and eventually seep under the foundation causing problems.
Incorrectly sloped properties also cause foundation issues. Even with the best drainage systems, an incorrectly sloped property will always work against your foundation. Water should always drain away from the home’s foundation.
Ecoscape Foundation Drainage Services
If you find you’re having drainage issues that may cause damage to your home’s foundation, contact Ecoscape Foundation to schedule a free at-home evaluation. Our team will diagnose the problem and offer a solution based on your home’s particular needs.
The drainage services we offer include:
French Drains
French drains are used to collect water and redirect it away from the foundation. French drains are an excellent option for use around homes built on hills or slopes.
In addition to moving water away from the foundation, French drains are helpful in redirecting water that pools in particular low spots on your property.
Sump Pump Drains
Sump pumps are usually installed in homes with basements or crawl spaces that experience below-ground wetness and moisture. This drainage system is installed beneath the floor of the crawl space and collects groundwater before it floods your home, redirecting it away from your home.
Gutters
Whereas French drains manage water at the ground level, gutters collect water as it runs off your home’s roof. Gutters prevent water from hammering down on the ground next to your foundation. When water falls consistently around the foundation, it erodes the soil and can seep down along the foundation, increasing the risk of future foundation problems.
