Questions To Ask About Drainage

If there are areas around your yard or property where you’re finding pools of water—possibly due to high water tables, low soil permeability, or a lack of a grade in your yard—the landscaping you’ve invested so much in could end up in ruins.

Insufficient yard drainage can lead to dampness or mold inside basements and crawl spaces, which can cause severe damage to your home or building’s foundation. If you need help with draining your yard in Charlotte, be sure to ask any potential contractors these questions.

What Causes Yard Drainage Problems?
