Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I keep water away from my house foundation?
When it comes to keeping water away from your house, the best thing you can do is to redirect it away. The overall goal is to create a way for the water to continuously flow away from the house. This creates positive drainage where your home needs it most, close to the house.
Sometimes grading alone will not work, so our team of professionals at Tommy Pollina Landscape has extensive experience installing drainage systems. Drainage systems also factor in when grading alone will not solve the problems caused by water retention. You may have to consider installing drainage systems like:
- Surface Drains
- Underground Drain Tile
- French Drains
- Connections To Municipal Drainage Systems (where allowable)
- Sump Pump Discharge
