Nothing worse than a leaking roof when it rains, right? Wrong. Believe it or not, there is something worse than a leaking roof. One terrifying word; Floods. Everyone has experienced a flash flood atleast once in their lives, to know how insignificant we are in the face of mother nature.
Recently, we all heard and saw images of floods in Germany and Belgium which took approximately 238 lives and cost in excess of 10 billion Euros in damages. Unfortunately, as devasting as that was, we have no control in these freak storms. It is scary to think this can happen anywhere. So how does one prepare for such?
We can’t do much about these disasters, but we can avoid unnecessary flooding with proper ground water drainage and management.
First, establish your need for drainage
Do you need drainage? With normal to heavier rains, do you have significant pooling in or around your property?
Asking these questions are important in preparing your home or business (or both) for the summer season. Acting on drainage infrastructure if needed before the rains come can prevent possible damage to your property.
Elevation; Inspect the elevation of your property when doing a walk about. If the street is higher than your building, or you’re on land that is flat and has minimal slope, you may need drainage.
