We do a lot of work repairing the havoc water causes to structures. What’s often overlooked is how problems developed in the first place. A common answer the grade of the property. The longevity of a structure can be increased when there is proper land grading around it. Water should be directed to flow away from foundation walls.

Overtime, the grade around a structure can change due to many factors, including:

• landscaping changes (new plantings, or growth of existing plants)
• deck additions
• hardscape areas
• building additions
• pool additions
• soil erosion

By spending time ensuring the grade around the structure is optimal, many major problems can be be kept at bay.
