Keep an eye out for these common signs of poor drainage: If you notice pools of water on your property after it rains, especially near your house, a drywell could help. Additionally, if your basement or crawlspace stays damp or leaks, it means water isn’t being properly directed away from your foundation.
Other signs include soil erosion around downspouts or landscaping, or parts of your yard that remain soggy long after rainfall. These issues often indicate a need for improved drainage, and a drywell might be the perfect solution.
