If you have perpetual puddles in certain areas of your yard, it can be bothersome and unattractive, not to mention unhealthy for your lawn and shrubbery and a possible breeding ground for mosquitos. However, it’s important to note that poor yard drainage can also be a danger to the structural integrity of your home, as water can cause costly damage your foundation over time.
If a puddle is forming near your home at the gutter and downspout locations or anywhere else along your property, this is a red flag for foundation damage to your home. Water could be visibly leaking into your home or covertly slipping through small cracks in your foundation. If you’re lucky enough not to have any water damage yet, poor drainage on your property is sure to cause expensive and dangerous problems in the future.
