- Standing water on the driveway
- Water building up in the planter area
- Downspouts that won’t drain
- Flooded basement or crawl space
- Slow draining water in the yard, patio or pool area
These are symptoms of poor yard drainage. Over time these problems can cause minor issues like dead grass and sopping yards but can lead to major problems like flooded basements, high humidity, mold and wood rot fungus.

Yard Drainage and Foundation Problems
When assessing your home for yard drainage issues, there are several warning signs to look out for. Doors that stick or fail to open properly and windows that are challenging to open or seem uneven can indicate foundational shifts due to water accumulation. Visible cracks in foundation walls, exterior and interior walls, as well as in ceilings, are telltale signs of structural stress caused by poor drainage. Additionally, the separation of walls from floors, adjoining walls, and ceilings points towards the same issue. Uneven floors often result from the settling or shifting of the foundation, a common consequence of inadequate yard drainage. Lastly, the most direct sign of drainage problems is water intrusion, where moisture finds its way into places it shouldn’t be. All these symptoms suggest that it’s time to reevaluate and possibly upgrade your yard’s drainage system to protect the integrity and safety of your home.
