League City Drainage & Irrigation | Causes of Yard Drainage Problems
Tell us about drainage problems in your lawn. Unfortunately, the problem with drainage is caused by numerous factors, many starting with incorrect installation. When you have problems with your home leaking, let me know.
-
Window Wells
If windows have gaps after settling the hole in them the hole becomes small enough to allow water to escape. During heavy rains, you might notice leaky pipes from the windows. Leaks are often found within leaky basement walls. Keep an eye on this…
-
Pressure in soil
This can almost certainly be due to water saturation. As water reaches the soil it causes the soil to absorb pressure and creates water pressure, which can result in flood damage in the basement.

Clogged gutters and poorly placed downspouts
Rain is a natural source of moisture to the soil but not the underlying cause. Clogged gutters and poor drainage can cause lateral pressure and leakages.
The drainage problem
In terms of water drainage it is mainly a matter of two types: Surface water is created when a large amount of water is found in a pool in your garage or in a lawn. It takes a lot of surface water because the water can’t be carried. Subsurface water is collected underneath and is trapped if water is not flowing properly.
Even unused water can freeze or expand and cause significant damage. A freezing stream of icy water can cause structural damage on a building’s surface. Water is very crucial for our existence. It may become invasive if flow occurs.
Draw a Drainage Plan
It’ll take time for you to learn to solve that problem. Make an outline of your property showing house entrance, driveway, patio, driveway. Then apply LineLevel BuilderLevel and any other leveling method to identify the high and the bottom.
Draw Arrows showing the water flow and use note to indicate the relative heights of the higher or lower spots. You can also avoid directing the water into the neighbor’s home or building of a friend. And if you want to discharge water in sanitary sewers and street drains, contact the city first and find out if any regulation applies.
