Homeowners are responsible
to maintain the lot grading of their property
once the rough grade approval has been obtained
by the builder.
Gradex Consulting Ltd.
recommends that
homeowners pay particular attention to the slope
away from foundation walls as well as drainage
swales between neighbouring properties.
When both of these conditions are created
correctly, the control of water from downspouts
and/or sump pumps will be directed away from the
home, keeping the basement dry. |
