Drainage Systems
Drainage problems of all sizes need to be remedied immediately. Ignoring the issue will continue to cost you more as the problem will keep deteriorating. Areas of standing water around your property can be unhealthy for the plant life, can cause damage to your home, and can also turn into breeding grounds for mosquitos. One of the most serious problems is its impact on the foundation of your home. Servicing North Billerica, MA and the surrounding hamlets in the Town of Billerica, Krefta Drainage Solutions designs and installs tailored drainage solutions for both residential and commercial properties.
Common Causes of Drainage Issues
Drainage problems are commonly caused by several things. This can include:
- Runoff from the neighboring yards
- Water pooling around the foundation
- Underground springs
- Differences in elevation of your yard
- Concrete runoffs
- Water pooling in low-lying areas
- Excess water from sprinkler systems or downspouts
- Poor soil condition
Common Drainage Problems & Solutions
If you have a drainage problem on your property, our licensed professionals will work closely with you to create the best solutions.
- Low Spots in Your Yard: We can install catch basins and grates in low spots to prevent water from standing. A pop-up emitter can be installed, and water can be piped to it before being discharged to a safe area. Another solution is to install a grate that leads to a leaching system below the low spot. This will pull the puddles down, discharging the water to the soil underground.
- Excess Water in Planter Areas: We can install catch basins and atrium grates to get rid of the excess water and keep the root systems protected against overwatering and rot.
- Excess Water from Downspouts: The water from downspouts will flow directly to catch basins and grates and is moved away from your home.
- Water from Driveways & Sidewalks Entering Garage: We can install channel drains and grates to keep water away from driveways and sidewalks.
- Water Entering from the Backyard or Patio: Again, channel drains and grates can help here.
