Why Does My Backyard Stay Wet and Not Drain?
Standing water in your yard typically stems from several common causes. Your property might have low spots where water naturally collects, or your soil could be heavily compacted, preventing proper absorption. Many homes also suffer from improper grading — when your yard doesn’t slope away from your foundation at the recommended 2-3 inches per 10 feet, water flows toward your home, or pools near it, instead of away from it. In other cases, the culprit might be clogged gutters, undersized downspouts, or broken water lines that dump excess water into your yard. Once we understand why your backyard is taking on water, our waterproofing advisors will get you situated with a high-quality drainage system that will keep your yard dry and usable year-round.
