irrigation drainageWelcome to the Hessenauer Sprinkler Repair and Irrigation blog and website. We like to provide our blog readers with news, tips and advice about sprinkler irrigation and drainage. Today we would like to introduce our online readers to some common drainage issues to avoid.

Proper drainage protects your home from problems that could be persistent and reoccurring. A poorly constructed and maintained drainage system could lead to costly water damage to the house. Water damage could eventually lead to mold and mildew stains and even deteriorate the home’s structure.

When drainage issues occur and standing water puddles form, the moisture can soak into the home’s foundation and cause a series of issues. These include flooding, settling, cracking or cause the growth of mold, mildew and wood rot.

Damp wood provides an ideal environment for termite and other insect infestations. A properly functioning drainage system could help avoid property damage and health risks.

Clogged drainage pipes could be a problem that needs immediate attention. Blocked pipes can cause puddles and flooding. Standing water issues should be handled as soon as possible before bigger problems occur.

Proper drainage protects your home from problems that could be persistent and reoccurring. Installing a drainage system to prevent water damage from puddles is less expensive than repairing the water damage itself. Many homeowners try to use a quick fix like moving dirt or digging trenches but end up unsatisfied since these approaches are usually ineffective and temporary.
