Solutions For Landscape Drainage Problems

Drainage problems are certainly an issue in Texas. Every year, some backyards turn into lakes, often causing expensive repairs to the pool and patio. Unless someone just left the hose on, extended water saturation without proper drainage, can hurt your home's foundation and substantially devalue your house if you ever decide to sell it. For many Texas residents, drainage solutions usually mean attempting to build a French drain.

French Drain – Consists of gravel or a rock bottomed ditch to redirect any surface water away from a foundation.

Many Texas homeowners who try using a French Drain as a drainage solution still find their yards under 2 inches of water after the next shower. Below are five symtoms that make a home's landscape drainage problems apparent:

  • Heavy rain
  • Supersaturated soil
  • Sprinklers
  • Underground springs
  • High water tables

    • Drainage Problems Cause Future Foundation Issues

    Regardless of the symptoms of poor drainage, they cause foundation problems for a number of reasons:

  • Unneeded and intense pressure on your foundation.
  • Allows moisture to leak through cracks and can further aggravate existing cracks and even contribute to new fractures.
  • Causes gullies in a yard as water exits, causing further erosion.
