If your home is in need of underground drainage pipes or Stormwater System, we set you up with our Stormwater Engineers here at Connecticut Stormwater Authority.
Some of the signs you may need underground drains are: you are experiencing flooded yards, basements and garages, as well as, foundation damage and rotted wood. When your rain gutters drop rain within the footprint of your home, the water will follow the path of the back-fill into your foundation. When our stormwater professionals come out to your home, they are trained to look for areas where your home may be experiencing problems with poor rain water drainage and/or pooling.
Why Do I Need Yard Drains?
During a rainstorm the gutters will catch all the rainwater from your roof and carry it down to the ground. If your home does not have extensions or underground drains (yard drains), the water will begin ponding next to your home. Over time this water can penetrate your foundation, undermine stairs and patios and cause major damage. Many times, wet basements can be resolved by fixing a broken rain gutter, adding underground drains, or preventing rain water overflow in the gutters.
Gutters draining into high traffic areas such as walkways and driveways often cause slipping injuries. The solution is to take the downspouts underground and away from the high traffic areas. In some cases we even re-route the gutters and downspouts to a different area of the home and then bring them underground to avoid digging up driveways and walkways.
Properly maintaining and regularly servicing stormwater management systems is often required to meet regulations – and just as importantly – so they will work as they were designed.
