Are You Experiencing Water Build-Up?

Water build-up on your property is particularly problematic for your home and yard. It can result in damage to the yard, create foundation problems, lower the value of your home, and pose a safety hazard for you and your family.

On average, Virginia receives just over 44 inches of rainfall per year. This is above the average for the entire United States. In addition, US News and World Report noted that Virginia is one of the top 10 states most at risk for flooding. As a result, it is common for homeowners to experience standing water in their yard. You don’t have to live with this issue causing problems in your life. You can help by learning the causes of water build-up and fighting it with a quality yard drainage solution installed by a professional at Basement Masters Waterproofing.

Factors Of Water Build-Up

A variety of factors can lead to water build-up on your property. A few causes include:

• Sloping properties: Virginia’s lowest elevation level is located in Norfolk, which is situated at sea level. Since the majority of the state is at a particularly low elevation, any property that is at the bottom of a hill or slope will most likely experience water accumulation in the yard.
• Soil quality: Clay soil is not good at absorbing moisture. Unfortunately, it is nearly everywhere in Virginia. Soil that is not composed of clay has the ability to absorb water, however, it can be compromised if the area receives a lot of traffic and becomes heavily compacted over time.
• High water table: The water table is the level below the point in the ground in which it becomes saturated with moisture. Water tables differ among regions and with the changing seasons. This has a tendency to become higher in periods of melting snow or torrential rain.
• Improperly placed gutters: While having a rain gutter is a good measure to keep water from pooling around your home’s foundation, it can actually be detrimental if improperly placed. In this situation, the gutter could potentially be redirecting water to a flat part or convex part of your yard where it is allowed to accumulate, causing problems.

Regardless of what’s causing water to build up in your yard, Basement Masters Waterproofing has the solution to dry up the affected area and prevent future problems. Call us today for an estimate and to discover how we can best serve you and your home!

Solutions for Water Build-Up in Your Virginia Yard

Here at Basement Masters Waterproofing, we offer a variety of solutions to fix water build-up in your yard. A critical component of proper excess water prevention involves installing a sump pump. This is usually placed in the basement or crawl space. The sump pump is responsible for removing accumulated water and redirecting it away from your home.

We also offer dual-combination sump pumps with a battery backup at the same rate as our competition’s single pump system. Our team can install your sump pump properly and ensure that it will drain in a proper location. We have complete exterior drainage waterproofing systems as well to ensure the dryness of your home and yard from the outside. At Basement Masters Waterproofing, we strive to install our drainage systems quickly, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to your landscaping. Our surface drainage systems are a reliable solution to your water problems and include:

• Downspouts
• Gutters
• Drainage Ditches
• Catch Basins
• Channel Drains
• Professional Grading
• Water Collection

If our experts discover that your gutters are to blame for water build-up problems, we can also initiate a quick fix by lengthening the downspout or correcting its slope.
