Property Preventative Maintenance- Landscape Drains
You are a Brookhaven area resident and have a beautiful property, but haven’t thought about drainage? The best property preventative maintenance you can do is add landscape drains to keep your property from being oversaturated.
Property Preventative Maintenance is one of the best things you can do for your home or commercial property. Rather than waiting for the worst to happen, take action and prevent it from happening. Landscape drains are one of the easiest and best preventative maintenance items for your property.
Best Preventative Maintenance Items for Your Home
1.) Draining water that drips down from the roof away from the foundation walls. A gutters and downspouts system is one of the best ways to keep your water from pooling around the foundation of your home. Creating a downspout drain line will also really help with the pooling water.
2.) Driveways and walks should be checked for cracks, breaks, or erosion. If asphalt surfaces need repairing, be certain you have the equipment and skill to do a lasting repair job, otherwise hire a reputable landscaping contractor. Cracks in concrete can sometimes mean oversaturated soil.
3.) Trim shrubs and bushes away from the foundation walls. Clearance space should be at least one foot.
4.) Check masonry foundation walls for cracks or weakened and crumbling mortar.
5.) Check that the crawlspace vapor barrier is in good condition and placed correctly. A vapor barrier is usually polyethylene material (at least 6-mil) that covers 100 percent of the crawlspace.
6.) Examine the inside of the basement or foundations walls for dampness or water stains indicating seepage or a leak.
7.) Fences, gates, and retaining walls should be checked for ease of operation, condition of structure, and materials. Make repairs as needed.

They take pride in what they do and it shows
Absolutely Amazing!! Of the 4 companies we received quotes from they were the only ones who offered additional suggestions that we did not ask for, nor did they upcharge us, to wholistically address the drainage issues. Carlos was patient and informative as he explained the process to my mother. The gentlemen who did the work, were fantastic. You could not tell that they had just dug under the ground and connected pipes in our yard. They cut the grass and then reinstalled it meticulously. No dirt, mud or straw all over the place. Everything placed back exactly as it was before. No visible pipes showing on the lawn. They take pride in what they do and it shows.

[…] Good drainage is important to ensure that your home and landscaping stays dry and free of mold. Standing water around your property and landscaping is the fastest way for mold to grow and wood to start rotting. Not to mention, your landscaping will eventually get washed away and you will have unusable areas due to standing water. The best way to eliminate standing water is to have Venyscapes install a French drain or catch basin. French drains are slotted pipes that re direct water to a more desirable area. According to HGTV French drains are one of the best ways to increase drainage in on your property. “French drains are a great way to disperse water over a large area, and they’re used to deal with a large number of drainage issues” […]
