It is important to recognize the signs of poor drainage, so you know when you call the experts at Pittsburgh Drain Guys. If your yard doesn’t slope away from your home or property, frequently has wet or soggy spots, or puddles regularly, your yard is not properly draining.

It is also important to check around your property, especially the foundation, inside and out. Signs to look for include:

  • Visible mineral deposits on the wallsExterior Drains Pittsburgh
  • Cracks in the foundation
  • Water in the basement

If you notice these signs in your yard or property, the Pittsburgh Drain Guys are here to help!

Excavation Solutions to Fix Your Soggy Yard

If your yard does not slope ways from the home or property, this could cause water to puddle around the base of your home. This puddling creates standing water that can not only cause major structural issues with your foundation but also creates standing water which serves as a breeding ground for disease-transmitting insects like mosquitoes.

To help resolve drainage issues, the Pittsburgh Drain Guys can manipulate your landscape through expert grading and leveling services. Using proper drainage and landscaping techniques, we can ensure the water runoff drain away from your home, rather than puddling  and seeping into your foundation!

The Pittsburgh Drain Guys can handle any home situation including:

  • Basement windows
  • Underground utilities
  • Pipes and drain traps

Our excavation services also include French drain installation for both interior and exterior French drains as part of our water management solutions. A French drain can be used to help direct surface water away from your home or property, alleviating soggy yards and basement flooding and can also be used to alleviate the pressure behind retaining walls to avoid collapse.
