• Water from pooling around your foundation that can lead to cracking.
• Water from splashing up and seeping behind siding, lending to rot.
• Saturation and damage to decks, doors, walls, patio’s & walkways.
• Mold and stains on brick, mortar, siding & stone.
• Erosion of yard and topsoil.
• Landscaping from washing away.
