The Problem

Improperly and poorly designed landscapes are often the primary causes of water entering a building. The proper contours, grading, and adequate drainage are often overlooked during the design and installation of a landscape. Water entering your building is not only a nuisance, leads to deterioration of your property, but often creates conditions for mold to grow.

Solutions – Four Key Areas

1. Correct Contours
   • • Ensuring that the landscape’s contour diverts storm waters away from your building’s foundation and entrances are crucial.
2. Drainage
   • • The addition of various drain techniques (French, channel, trench) can greatly assist in removing water away from your building foundation and entrances and ensuring it is directed to designated areas assisting in reducing potential further erosion issues
3. Landscape Materials
   • • During the design phase of landscapes around buildings, numerous materials and methods are used as a standalone or in conjunction with drainage to ensure water transfer away from your property.
4. Building Foundation Barriers
   • • We have partnerships with local companies that provide an impermeable barrier between your foundation and the soil. When combined with the techniques listed above, we offer superior solutions for those difficult problems.
