"What can I say about American Dry Basement Systems? A few years ago, our area experienced an extraordinary amount of rainfall. My backyard looked like a pond, and water was rising all the way to the back of my house. At the time, there was already some water in the basement, but I believed I had a solid plan in place to manage it—completely unaware of the damage that was about to unfold. The next day, I went downstairs to check the situation and was devastated to find nearly four feet of water filling my basement. Storage totes were floating, along with irreplaceable family artifacts that meant the world to me—pieces of history from loved ones who are no longer here. I immediately tried contacting the fire department, but I wasn’t alone in this situation; many others were dealing with flooding as well. With no other option, I had to purchase another water pump. After a grueling 10-hour ordeal, the water was finally removed. Unfortunately, the damage was already done. I lost cherishe"

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, a drought can cause a house to settle, but the amount depends on the type of soil around your foundation as well as the foundation design itself. The deeper the foundation, for example, the lower its vulnerability to soil chances. Additionally, well-draining soil with low amounts of clay is less likely to change and allow a house to settle during a drought.

If the time has come to install a French drain in your yard, basement, or crawl space, there's a solid chance you've been battling water damage—or the threat of water damage—around these areas. Thankfully, proper drainage should allow you to redesign these areas of your home without the fear of being inundated during the next storm. If you've had to remove a portion of your lawn for an exterior French or curtain drain, consider reseeding your lawn to patch up the spot. You can also take this opportunity to enhance your foundation waterproofing methods or even start thinking about finishing your basement .

Most people consider a French drain to be one of the most effective solutions for foundation leaks, but it’s not always a standalone solution. French drains will help keep water away from your foundation to reduce the risk of leaking and structural damage from soil expansion, but depending on your foundation type and location, you might need other systems or techniques—like soil gradation and gutter and leader installation—to resolve the underlying problem.

Regrading your yard can often fix drainage problems. You can also try aerating the lawn to encourage better drainage or install a new drainage system to prevent water from pooling in certain areas.

You must first assess where water is coming from to drain water runoff successfully. Redirect downspouts and gutters to reroute runoff from your roof away from your driveway and foundation. Then, install drain systems, swales, or porous materials below the surface of your driveway and nearby drains to help manage water and improve drainage.
