Your home’s foundation is one of the most important parts of your house. Without it, your entire structure can shift, crack, or even collapse over time. One of the best ways to protect your foundation is by making sure your home has proper drainage.
At Hudson Plumbing, we believe that every homeowner deserves peace of mind. That’s why we say: TRUST IN US to help you keep your plumbing and drainage systems in top shape.
What Is Proper Drainage?
Proper drainage means that rainwater and wastewater are moving away from your home, not collecting around it. This includes water from:
- Roof gutters
- Downspouts
- Yard runoff
- Plumbing drains
All these systems should work together to send water away from your foundation and into safe areas like storm drains or dry wells.
How Poor Drainage Can Hurt Your Foundation
When water pools near your home’s foundation, it can cause big problems. Water can seep into the soil and make it expand, putting pressure on your foundation walls. Over time, this can lead to:
- Cracks in the foundation
- Mold and mildew in basements or crawlspaces
- Sagging floors
- Flooding inside the home
These repairs can be costly and stressful—but many can be avoided with good drainage.
Signs of Drainage Problems
Not sure if your home has drainage issues? Look out for these warning signs:
- Water stains or puddles near your foundation
- Gutters that overflow or leak
- Soil that washes away after heavy rain
- Cracks in basement walls or floors
- Mold or a musty smell indoors
If you notice any of these, it’s time to call in the experts at Hudson Plumbing.
