Outdoor Drainage 101
Water is the biggest enemy of any home. If your drainage is wrong, everything else will eventually fail — foundations, decks, driveways, retaining walls.
Signs of poor drainage:
- Water pooling after rain
- Muddy or soft ground
- Moss growing on paths
- Moisture under the house
- Bad smell near drains
Simple fixes:
- Clear gutters and downpipes
- Add a channel drain
- Install a French drain
- Re‑shape the ground to slope away from the house
Good drainage protects your home from long‑term damage. It’s one of the best investments you can make.
