Your drainage system is a critical part of your home’s design. It moves water strategically away from your home during the wet Aiea, HI, winter months, protecting your home from structural damage and flooding. Since your home is one-of-a-kind, it’s important to have a custom drainage system that’s designed to fit your home’s unique needs. When you’re in the market for a custom drainage system, look no further than Aloha ‘Aina Landscaping, Aiea’s expert landscaping resource.

Why Does Drainage Matter?

A poorly designed drainage system can spell big problems for your home. When water accumulates around the base of your home, it can seep in and cause mold, flooding, and even damage to the foundation. But moving rainwater away from your home isn’t enough. A drainage system needs to account for all the intricacies of your yard and landscape design to ensure that your property isn’t damaged by runoff or over-saturation.

How Are Drainage Systems Designed?

DrainageThe design of your home’s drainage system will depend on the layout and slope of your property and where your home sits on it. Whether you have a gravity-driven system or a sump pump, it’s important to have a drainage system that accounts not only for your property’s slope, but also its problem areas. If water pools in low points in your yard, it could damage your landscaping by killing plants and creating muddy areas. Stagnant water may also attract unpleasant bacteria and insects. A custom drainage system accounts for trouble areas as well as your property’s overall topography, soil composition, and landscape design.

How to Assess Drainage

If you suspect the water around your home isn’t draining properly, observe where water accumulates after a heavy rainfall. If you notice water collecting around your foundation, leaks in your basement, or pooling water on your property, consider scheduling a professional drainage assessment with Aloha ‘Aina Landscaping.
