How can I use Landscaping to protect my home

The floors and walls of this home were saturated, and standing water was trapped between the walls and flooring layers after category 3 flood waters entered the home. 

We are a reliable restoration service, but we know that people would rather prevent damage to their homes than call us after structural compromises occur. Some of the more common types of home damage we see are ones caused by outside flooding. The way you arrange your landscaping could help prevent irreparable damage. When planting gardens and trees, pay close attention to how your yard slopes and if water is running towards your foundation or away from it. If you find that water is consistently running towards your home, contact a trustworthy service such as SERVPRO to ensure that the slope of your landscaping will not damage your home’s foundation.
