Leading Indicators of Drainage Problems

  • Standing water 24 hours after a hard rain or irrigation.
  • Concentrations of yellowing or patches of turf that have minimal original turf.
  • Yellowing plant life.
  • Thin areas of turf, although there is plenty of sun and no obvious disease.
  • Areas that are constantly being treated for fungus problems.
  • Debris, such as leaves, pine straw, trash, etc., has accumulated in affected areas.
  • Water stains on fences, buildings, and other structures.
  • Stagnant water smell.
  • Trees and landscape material that are dying for no apparent reason.
  • Mud or silt deposits on flatwork, porches, etc.
  • Structural damage related to moisture or excess water problems.
  • Water intrusion into the home through door sills, basements, garages, etc.

While water is essential for a healthy lawn, too much can cause problems ranging from unhealthy lawns to leaky basements to large-scale soil erosion. These effects damage not only the appearance and value of your property but also weaken the structural integrity of your home.
