Why North Houston Homes Need Extra Drainage Care

Let’s talk about Texas soil, y’all—it’s not your regular dirt. In North Houston, we’ve got some serious clay-rich soil, which means when it rains, it’s like your yard turns into a sponge that just won’t let go. That clay holds onto water, causing poor drainage, and when you add in our unpredictable weather (surprise thunderstorms, anyone?), things can get messy—fast.

Why It Matters:

Clay expands when it’s wet and shrinks when it’s dry, which can wreak havoc on your home’s foundation, leading to water damage that you won’t even see coming. Good drainage? Yeah, it’s not just a suggestion—it’s a must for preventing water damage in these parts!

Pro Tip:

Check your gutters and downspouts regularly, make sure water is flowing away from your home, and consider French drains or sump pumps if the yard’s always looking like a swamp after a storm.

Bonus: If your yard feels like a slip-and-slide after it rains, it might be time to call in the pros to look at that drainage. 🌧️

And while we aren’t the ones digging trenches, installing French drains, or setting up sump pumps, we’re your go-to team for cleaning up water damage, preventing mold, and making sure your home stays dry after a drainage problem hits.
