Water does not wait. It does not take a season off. And the drainage issue that seems minor today, the soggy spot in the yard, the puddle by the foundation, the driveway that floods during every storm, is actively getting worse every time it rains.

In Westchester and Putnam counties, where the terrain is hilly, the soil varies from clay to rock within short distances, and the rainfall is consistent enough to test every surface and every structure on the property, drainage problems are not unusual. They are common. And the homeowners who contact a drainage company early spend significantly less than those who wait until the foundation is compromised or the yard is unusable.
