Protect Your Home from Costly Foundation Damage
Colorado Springs homeowners face unique challenges when it comes to protecting their homes. Expansive soils, steep terrain, and unpredictable weather can wreak havoc on foundations. Poor drainage accelerates soil movement, leading to cracks, uneven floors, and water damage. Without the right system, these issues get worse over time and threaten your home’s value.
How Poor Drainage Impacts Your Foundation
When water pools near your home, the soil swells and contracts, shifting your foundation. This constant movement weakens the structure and causes long-term damage. Common problems include:
- Standing water near your home’s perimeter
- Soil erosion around landscaping and sidewalks
- Basement leaks or damp crawlspaces
- Cracks in walls, floors, and exterior siding
Proper drainage prevents these issues, keeping your home safe, dry, and structurally sound.
