When it comes to water problems with your foundation, water leakage is usually to blame. Water that collects near a foundation can make the soil heavy and expanded, which causes it to press on foundation walls and footings and create cracks. To avoid this situation, it's imperative to fix any drainage issues near your home as soon as you notice them. Check for drainage issues in your gutters and downspouts, and ensure the soil near your foundation is graded properly and drains well. We recommend having your downspouts empty no less than five to 10 feet away from your home.

Jim Gardner Construction specializes in residential structural repair work, including foundation repair and replacement, basement digouts, drainage systems (French drains and downspout and site drainage), replacing and repairing entry stairs and porches, earthquake / seismic retrofitting repairs and upgrades, and retaining walls.
However, frequently contractors and homeowners neglect to install them when building homes or additions on to homes. The cost of installing a French drain is minimal, as it only requires some perforated PVC piping and inch crushed stone. French Drains should always be installed around foundations. A French drain takes advantage of gravity and aids in helping ground water seek lower levels away from your home's foundation. A French drain is basically a network of crushed stone and plastic piping that encircles the home or home addition and channels water away from the foundation.
