Prevent Water Damage with Expert Foundation Drainage Systems
Foundation drainage systems are essential for managing groundwater and preventing water intrusion into building basements and crawl spaces. Proper drainage helps maintain structural integrity by directing water away from the foundation, reducing the risk of water damage, mold growth, and foundation shifting. Effective drainage solutions include installing weeping tiles, sump pumps, and drainage pipes that connect to stormwater systems.
Different systems such as interior drain tiles, exterior French drains, and sump pump setups are used depending on site conditions and foundation type.
