Is your drainage hurting your foundation?

It is often the case for residential homes that the drainage coming off the roof and/or around the house is the culprit for foundation settlement. When homes have expansive soils underneath them; it is key to keep the surrounding soil from extreme saturation or drying out. Either of the above can cause movement that leads to settlement.

By simply rerouting gutter downspouts and/or installing French drain systems, you can increase the longevity of your soil compaction. If you are noticing standing water around the house, downspouts that discharge close the the wall, drip line erosion, or any other sign of poor drainage, give Level Home a call for a Free Estimate on a solution for repair 918-361-7787 .
