/yard-drainage-service For lots that hold water after every storm, and for grade that sends it back toward the house.
Ground should fall away from a foundation, and on a lot of houses it no longer does. Settlement, landscaping added over the years, a patio poured level with the siding. Water then sits against the wall every time it rains.
Correcting grade is unglamorous and frequently the highest value thing we do on a property.
Where regrading alone cannot clear it, catch basins and drain runs move the water to a discharge point. The aim is the same either way: nothing standing within reach of the foundation.
White chalky residue on block, a musty smell that never clears, cracks that keep growing, rust at the base of appliances, damp patches that darken a day or two after rain, and humidity you can feel. Any sign of water damage or mold is worth an inspection before it becomes structural.
Anywhere from three days to a week, depending on the scope of work and site conditions. You will get a specific timeline with your written scope rather than a guess over the phone.
Yes. Every system we install carries a lifetime labor warranty.
Interior work accepts that water is going to reach the wall, and gives it somewhere to go: a drain at the footing that carries it to a pump instead of onto your floor. Exterior work digs down along the outside of the wall and stops the water before it ever gets there. Interior costs less and is far less disruptive, and it is what most Lexington houses get. Exterior is the answer when the wall itself is the problem. Which one you need comes out of the inspection, not out of a phone call.
Call, or text a photo of the wall and we will tell you what we are looking at.
