Every yard has a route people naturally take, whether it’s from the driveway to the backyard gate, from the patio to the shed, or around the side of the house. When drainage becomes a problem, homeowners start changing that route without thinking about it. They step around the soft corner, tell the kids to stay out of the mud, or swing wide with the mower because they already know where the tires will sink.<\/span><\/p>\n That’s the kind of problem our Drainage Services are designed to address. At Crawl Space Ninja, we evaluate the trouble area, identify what’s contributing to it, and determine how drainage can better manage the unwanted water. If you’ve learned to avoid the same soggy section of your Wilmington yard after every hard rain, contact us online<\/a> to schedule an inspection.<\/span><\/p>\n Homeowners usually know exactly where to take us. It may be the section behind the patio that stays soft, a strip between the house and fence that turns muddy, or a backyard low spot that holds water after the rest of the lawn has dried. Some homeowners can tell us how many dry days they normally wait before they’re willing to push the mower through it again.<\/span><\/p>\n We walk the area and look for physical clues. Flattened grass, washed pine straw, sediment along landscape edging, or soil soft enough that one boot sinks farther than the other can help show how water has been behaving. We also ask what the homeowner sees during Wilmington’s harder rains because the yard may look considerably different by the time we arrive.<\/span><\/p>\n That gives us a real problem area to work from rather than starting with a predetermined drainage system.<\/span><\/p>\n \nShow Us the Part of the Yard You Avoid<\/span><\/h2>\n
