Our local teams in Centre City/Uptown have the training, equipment, and experience to restore water damage from heavy rains. Heavy rains can lead to serious water intrusion issues in residential properties, especially if there isn't proper drainage around the house. Water pools near your home's foundation can eventually seep into crawl spaces, leading to costly water damage.

Ensuring adequate drainage is essential to keeping your foundation dry and your home protected. Start by assessing the grading around your home. The ground should slope from the foundation to allow water to flow outward, reducing pooling risk.

Adding downspout extensions can help redirect rainwater further from the house, minimizing the chance of water building up around the foundation. French drains are another practical solution: they collect and channel water away from vulnerable areas.

Check your gutters regularly for blockages, as debris buildup can cause water to overflow and pour down near the foundation. These simple measures can significantly prevent water intrusion and preserve your home's structural integrity. With an adequate drainage system, you can confidently protect your home from the damage heavy rains can bring.
