What is Subsurface Drainage?

Subsurface drainage is an underground system designed to control and redirect groundwater away from your foundation. When excess moisture builds up around a home’s foundation, it creates hydrostatic pressure, which can lead to:

• Basement leaks
• Cracked or bowed foundation walls
• Mold and mildew growth
• Long-term structural damage

A properly installed subsurface drainage system helps prevent these problems by reducing the amount of water that collects around your foundation.

Even the strongest foundation can be compromised by years of water exposure. Subsurface drainage is one of the most effective ways to extend the life of your foundation and maintain a dry, safe home.
