Drainage is one of the most underrated parts of a house — until something goes wrong. Here are a few signs that it may be time to review your drainage.
Moisture or odour in the basement
Damp patches, a musty smell or condensation on the basement walls are often the first signs that water is getting in where it shouldn’t.
The age of the house
Older drainage systems have a limited lifespan. If the house is more than 25–30 years old and the drainage has not been replaced, it is wise to carry out a visual inspection.
Water pooling near the foundation
If rainwater collects near the house foundation instead of draining away, it may indicate that the ground slope or stormwater solution needs to be reviewed at the same time as the drainage.
