Common Causes of Water Damage
- Home Maintenance Problems: Issues with plumbing systems, appliances, and roofs that are not addressed can cause water damage.
- Clogged Gutters & Drains: If gutters are not regularly cleared, they can overflow, leading to foundation issues.
- Natural Disasters: Heavy rains and other weather events can quickly cause widespread damage.
- Poor Yard Drainage: Excess water from yards can create surface runoff that erodes the home’s foundation.
Effective Surface Water Drainage and Water Collection in Virginia Beach and The Entire Hampton Roads Area
AMC911 Crawl Space & Foundation Repair uses products made by Earth Contact Products (ECP), the leading manufacturer in the waterproofing industry, so you know that you’re getting quality products with excellent service. We install the following surface water drainage systems:
Catch Basins and Grates
The ECP catch basins and grates protect homes against water intrusion caused by too much rainwater. They are designed to collect stormwater runoff by filtering leaves, sticks, and debris that clog drain pipes. In the winter, these grates are beneficial because they prevent pipes from cracking in freezing temperatures.
Channel Drains
The channel drain is a lightweight drain system that can be quickly installed. The product contains interlocking joints that eliminate the need for grading a deck surface to a lower area because it acts as a perimeter drain at the edge of a slope.
The ECP pop-up emitter is a downspout that uses a sump pump to discharge the water flow away from the foundation. When water is present, it rises above grade, then the spring load retracts. It also protects homes against hydrostatic pressure by discharging water caused by too much water in the soil.
Dry Wells
Before beginning any construction project, the soil needs to be adequately tamped down. If this isn’t done, the structure will settle unevenly into the soil after it’s built.
