  • What is grading and why is it important?

    Grading is the process of shaping and leveling the ground surrounding your property to ensure proper water drainage. It's crucial because it prevents water from accumulating near your foundation, which can lead to significant structural damage over time.
  • How do I know if my property needs grading?

    Several signs may indicate your property requires grading. These include water accumulation near your home, visible soil erosion, uneven surfaces in your yard, or persistent leaks in your basement. If you notice any of these issues, it's advisable to consider grading services.
  • What causes foundation problems?

    Foundation issues typically stem from poor drainage, soil movement, excessive moisture, or substandard construction practices. Over time, these factors can contribute to the development of cracks and uneven settling of your home's foundation.
  • What are common signs of foundation damage?

    Key indicators of foundation damage include visible cracks in walls or floors, doors and windows that don't open or close properly, noticeably uneven floors, or gaps appearing around window frames. These signs suggest your foundation may require professional assessment and repair.
  • Can grading fix foundation problems?

    While grading is an effective preventive measure against future foundation issues by improving drainage, it's not typically a solution for existing damage. For comprehensive protection, it's often necessary to combine foundation repair services with grading to ensure long-term structural stability.
  • What can I store in outdoor storage?

    Outdoor storage facilities are suitable for a variety of items, including vehicles such as cars, trucks, RVs, boats, and trailers. They can also accommodate ATVs and construction equipment. It's advisable to check with the specific facility regarding any restrictions on stored items.
