Drainage Fixes That Save Foundations

News
House Damage

Water is the enemy of a stable foundation. When rainwater or runoff sits at the base of your home, it erodes soils, creates pressure, and leads to settlement. Fortunately, some of the best protection comes from relatively simple fixes: properly extended downspouts, French drains, or re-grading the soil away from the house.

We’ve seen countless homes in our area where drainage work that costs a fraction of foundation repair has added years of stability. If you’re serious about protecting your investment, drainage is the cheapest insurance policy you’ll ever buy for your foundation.
