Importance of Proper Drainage

Welcome to the Hessenauer Sprinkler Repair and Irrigation blog and website. Today we would like to focus on the importance of proper drainage.

When rain lands on the roof, rain gutters collect water then channel it through downspouts. Many drainage systems end there, causing puddles to form at the base of your home.

Without proper drainage, your foundation can be infiltrated by water, causing flooding, settling, cracking or cause the growth of mold, mildew and wood rot.

Wet wood provides the ideal environment for termite and other insect infestations. A properly installed drainage system could help you avoid such property damages and health risks, by moving water away from your home.

Many homeowners try to use a quick fix like moving dirt and digging trenches. They often end up unsatisfied because these approaches are usually ineffective and temporary.
