Q: Why is grading a yard important?

• <div><p>Yard grading is a key component of proper drainage because runoff naturally moves with respect to gravity. If you have low spots in your yard, rain and snowmelt will settle there and oversaturate the soil, promoting root rot and fungal growth. If the low spots are near your home&rsquo;s foundation, you could even end up with foundation leaks or structural damage due to poor yard grading.</p></div>

Q: Does rain affect the results of a perc test?

• <div><p>Yes, rain can affect the results of a perc test because it will partially saturate the soil and slow down the rate of drainage. Ideally, you should do a perc test during the driest time of the year and try to schedule it after a stretch of days where no precipitation occurs. This will give you the best chance of passing.</p></div>

Q: What signs suggest I need professional grading or re-sloping?

• <div><p>Water pooling, uneven surfaces, or basement leaks are indicators.</p></div>

Q: Can adding new sand fix paver drainage issues?

• <div><p>Not typically. A paver patio drainage problem generally requires a landscaping fix that can include a drainage pipe or dry well capable of handling the amount of runoff in your yard. </p></div>

Q: How long does a perc test take?

• <div><p>A perc test takes an average of around two hours, but it can range from one hour up to around six hours. Perc tests that require wider or deeper holes and those that require multiple holes dug throughout your property will take longer because there&rsquo;s more excavation involved. The actual filling of the hole and monitoring to gauge the rate of percolation should take under an hour per hole.</p></div>
