Summer is in full swing and so are pop-up storms! Recently, many of us have experienced torrential rain and flooding from these heavy pop-up storms. Here is why it is important to raise concrete around the foundation of your home to prevent erosion from stormwater:
- Prevents Foundation Erosion: Raising concrete around the house directs stormwater away from the foundation, preventing soil erosion and maintaining structural stability.
- Reduces Water Infiltration: Elevated concrete helps keep stormwater from seeping into the foundation, which minimizes the risk of leaks, flooding, and water damage to the interior of the house.
- Improves Drainage: By creating a slope away from the foundation, raised concrete enhances overall drainage, reducing the risk of water pooling and the associated damage to the property.
- Protects Landscaping: Proper elevation helps preserve landscaping and prevent erosion of the surrounding soil, maintaining both aesthetic and functional aspects of the property.
