Harris Excavation was recently engaged by a homeowner in San Jose to address significant drainage issues that were leading to foundation settlement and cracking. Upon inspection, our team identified that the front planter area had a negative slope, directing surface water towards the home foundation. Additionally, two downspouts were discharging water directly at the foundation corners, exponentially increasing the amount of water around the foundation.
To resolve these issues, we regraded the front planter area to ensure positive slope from the house to direct surface water towards the front lawn. Our team also installed a new subsurface drainage system that effectively redirects downspout runoff underground, channeling it to a safe outlet in the front yard, well away from the property foundation. By doing so, we ensured that runoff is efficiently managed and directed away from the home, protecting the structural integrity of the foundation.
Our team completed this extensive work within just two days, showcasing our commitment to efficiency and quality. At Harris Excavation, we pride ourselves on delivering top-notch services for residential clients that not only solve immediate problems but also prevent future issues.
