A water drainage problem isn't just a minor inconvenience to be dealt with whenever you can get to it. Even a low level of surface water has the potential to lead to serious damage around the home, from flooding near electrical components to compromised structural integrity of the foundation. That's why residents and businesses in Kentucky and Ohio turn to the expert drainage contractors at Stan Young Drainage. They provide the most reliable drainage services in the area, including the installation of highly effective sump pumps.

Your average sump pump is a relatively simple apparatus that can be installed in a variety of places around a home, apartment, or commercial building. The pump will take the surface water and direct it away from the property, typically into a designated drainage area. Automatic systems use sensors to determine when the pump should be running, so an ongoing drainage issue can be tackled in real time before the damage gets any worse.

Whether you're dealing with a basement or a crawlspace, you'll want to act fast when it comes to getting rid of any surface water. Standing water will lead to problems like buckling floors and mildew, and it only goes downhill from there. If the water begins to seep into the foundation, you could end up with damaged sheetrock and other more extensive and costly repairs down the line.  

As convenient and easy as sump pumps may be, hiring a licensed drainage contractor is the best way to make sure the job is done properly. Stan Young Drainage will get rid of your water problems and help with waterproofing solutions to prevent it from happening again.
