Foundation drainage is important in preventing water damage and irreversible structure damage. Drainage systems can also help improve your yard, preventing erosion, standing water, and other landscaping issues.
Water damage is often the most significant indicator of a need for a foundation drainage system, such as a footing drain. Water damage can range from cosmetic to catastrophic, and often insurance coverage is limited for these occurrences. Long term issues resulting from poor foundation drainage around basement walls can occur. This is due mainly to water saturation of the soil beneath the home, causing the ground to shift and the foundation to crack. Not only does this result in possible structural issues, but it also allows moisture to penetrate more easily into the structure. This can cause an increased protentional for mold growth. Mold can be dangerous to your health if it goes unnoticed for too long.
The installation of a footing drain, which is an exterior foundation drainage system outside the foundation wall, can prevent or alleviate moisture issues.
