Common Causes of Drainage Issues

Understanding the root causes of drainage problems helps us create effective solutions. Here are the primary factors we address:

Improper Slope or Grading

Without proper grading,, water pools in low areas, causing damage to lawns and foundations.

Compacted or Poor Soil Conditions

Compacted or clay-heavy soil prevents water absorption, leading to runoff and pooling water.

Improper Placement of Hardscaping Features

Improperly sloped patios, driveways, or walkways can direct water toward your home instead of away. These hardscape features can contribute to drainage issues if they are not properly sloped.

Roof Runoff

Without proper downspouts or extensions, rainwater can erode soil or pool near your home’s foundation.

Excessive Rainfall

North Carolina’s storms can overwhelm existing systems, making professional drainage solutions essential.
