Standing water in the yard after rain? Stormwater drainage will help!

Lietus uĢ„dens drenaĢ„zĢŒas sisteĢ„ma

Does your yard turn into a lake of puddles after rain? Standing water isn’t just a nuisance ā€“ it also threatens your home’s foundations and landscaping. Effective stormwater drainage is the solution that stops water damaging your property and makes the yard safe and pleasant to use.

Why does a private house need stormwater drainage?

1. Foundation protection
Correctly draining water from the roof and the ground around the house protects the foundations from moisture and cracks. A drainage system keeps the foundations dry, extending the life of the house.

2. Landscaping
 Standing water damages lawns, garden plants and paved surfaces. Proper drainage prevents puddles and keeps the yard looking tidy and working all year round.

3. Longer-lasting paving
 Incorrectly drained water can lift paving stones or wash out their base, especially in winter when frost makes water expand. A drainage system ensures paved surfaces keep their shape and last for years.

Frequently asked questions

Can rainwater be discharged into a ditch?
Discharging rainwater into a ditch is only allowed in certain cases. If the ditch belongs to the municipality or the state, approval from the relevant authority is needed. You must also make sure no harm is done to neighbouring properties or the environment. Infiltrating rainwater on your own plot is often a safer and more sustainable solution than discharging it directly into a ditch.
What should I do if water stands in the yard after every rain?
If water regularly stands in the yard, the drainage is insufficient or incorrect. In that case we recommend: assessing the terrain and soil composition; checking whether the existing drainage works at all; installing drainage; if needed, building an infiltration well or rainwater collection system. Solving the problem in time protects not only the yard but also the house foundations.
Will drainage help the foundations?
Yes ā€“ drainage is one of the most important elements in protecting foundations. It carries excess moisture away from the building, reducing the risk of foundation cracks, moisture build-up and heat loss. A properly built drainage system significantly extends the life of a building and reduces future repair costs.
