At Dewey’s Septic and Grading, we have extensive experience in dealing with land grading problems. If the grade, or slope, of the land is not correct, you could end up with serious issues with water flow on your property. In this article, we will go over a few ways to tell if you require our land grading services.
- Drainage Issues – One clear sign you need land grading services is water pooling around your property, especially if it is pooling near the foundation of a building. If your land is properly graded, water will flow away easily when it rains, rather than forming pools. We encourage you to give us a call right away if you notice pools of standing water around your property.
- Soil Erosion – Another sign you need land grading services is soil erosion. If your yard has been stripped of its topsoil, or the roots of your trees have become exposed, then you should contact our team for help. These issues are caused by rainwater carrying soil away, which can also cause your yard to develop hazardous dips or slopes.
- Structural Damage – As we alluded to above, poor land grading can also cause structural damage to your buildings over time. If water is allowed to pool around the foundation, that foundation can start to rot, which will cause damage to the rest of the structure over time. Our team has the right knowledge and experience to adjust the grade of your land to ensure water stays away from your foundations.
