Drainage Systems Or Foundation Repair

May 25, 2015

If you have drainage problems, get a drainage system. Foundation repair on your slab or pier and beam foundation can be avoided. These systems are very helpful. Water causes all kinds of flooding and drainage issues and foundation damage often occurs. In order to protect your property from deteriorating, it’s imperative to get a foundation drainage system so that repairs won’t be needed. You’ll want to avert drainage problems affecting your slab or pier and beam foundation or flooding your house and save yourself money. Over time, water will erode your foundation and you will ultimately need to fix it. It’s best to avoid any kind problems by being proactive as soon as you see signs of trouble.

Why Using Drainage Systems, Foundation Repair Can Be Avoided:

It can be prevented by directing the water away from your house foundation. It’s important to remember that when moisture enters a concrete slab foundation, it can comprise the integrity of the foundation. Since slabs are made of concrete, they’re porous. When moisture seeps inside the crevices, it slowly erodes the foundation, makes your house out of level and causes sinking and cracks. If this happens, slab foundation repair will quite likely be required. Of course, pier and beam foundations are also affected. They start sloping, develop sagging floors, ceiling cracks and all kinds of other complications. Regardless of which type of foundation you have, a drainage system can help you avoid problems and the need to have your foundation fixed.

Heavy moisture can lead to a condition that’s called “upheaval.” This is what commonly occurs when the heavy weight of water (caused by rainfall or flash floods) occurs and forces your foundation upwards. Due to many weather conditions, area contractors see this happen a lot. Drainage systems stop this from occurring. As a result, you can avoid pier and beam or slab foundation repair service and lots of other issues. Upheaval can appear around the perimeter of a foundation or raise it up in the center. That’s why problems developing as a result of poor drainage should be avoided.

There are a variety of systems designed to provide for proper drainage conditions. Foundation drainage systems such as surface drains or French drains prevent problems from starting in the first place. Berms and swales are also effective. If you don’t need to have repairs made to your slab or pier and beam foundation, you’ll save time trouble and money. The key is to make sure that water drains away from your home and not towards it.

If you require a system, contact HD Foundations. We service the entire DFW area.
