Standing water around the house:  Rainwater must be diverted away from houses via gutters, downspouts, and drainage systems or ponding can occur and lead to more serious issues.  When water ponds and builds up around a foundation it can create unnecessary hydrostatic pressure on the foundation walls causing them to bow or crack, water intrusion issues, and foundation settlement due to erosion and undermining of bearing soil.

There are many waterproofing and drainage solution systems that can be applied on the interior and exterior of the foundation to resolve standing water and the resulting issues.
