WHY FIX YOUR DRAINAGE ?
COMMON PROBLEMS
Poor drainage can lead to the following:
HEALTH RISKS
Asthma is one of the most common health effects associated with structural dampness. It is heightened due to condensation, moisture, humidity, and water intrusion, which all contribute to indoor moisture. Mould infestation is also a major trigger for asthma as well as other allergic reactions and illnesses. Another health effect associated with structural dampness is the presence of bacteria in an indoor environment. Bacteria require water to grow and multiply. Bacteria are a source for the transmission of diseases, therefore putting occupants' health at risk. Water removal and drying of wet building materials will prevent mould and bacteria growth, therefore reducing occupants' vulnerability to disease.
PROPERTY DAMAGE
Have you ever wondered why your basement keeps flooding or your driveway is washing away? Whether you are a homeowner, an agricultural producer, or a government agency you can be affected by stormwater. Structural damage is one of the common types of property damage caused by stormwater. Flooded basements and leaking roofs are often expensive problems to fix after a heavy storm. Stormwater can also cause cracks to occur in foundations and water damage around windows and doors. Soil erosion of embankments, lawns and driveways can cause actual loss of property. Learning more about what can be done to manage stormwater on your property can help reduce the damage you may have to deal with.
