Standing water in your yard or driveway can lead to costly repairs if left unaddressed. Puddles near your home after rainfall may result in basement or foundation flooding due to improper surface grading or negative slopes directing water towards your property. Additionally, improperly routed gutter drains can contribute to water accumulation issues. Remedying these problems involves surface grading adjustments, installation of underground drain pipes, or a combination of both solutions. Addressing water puddles in driveways typically involves surface grading and adding new rock or gravel as needed.
