Kansas City Homeowners Beware: This Summer’s Rain Could Cost You More Than Wet Shoes
With a round of heavy rains flooding the Kansas City metro nearly every week this summer, your lawn and landscaping could be at risk of washing away—along with a good chunk of your bank account. Many homeowners underestimate the damage poor lawn drainage can cause, but failing to address it early can lead to serious consequences, including structural damage to your home’s foundation.
The Hidden Cost of Poor Drainage
When your yard doesn’t drain properly, it does more than just make your grass soggy. Standing water and runoff can erode topsoil, drown plants, and create unsightly muddy patches. But the most expensive issue often goes unnoticed—until it’s too late.
Excess water around your home can slowly seep into the foundation, weakening it over time. Cracks, basement leaks, and even foundation settling can result, potentially leading to repair costs in the tens of thousands. That’s a price no homeowner wants to pay—especially when the issue could have been prevented with professional landscape drainage solutions.
Signs You Have a Drainage Problem
If you’re seeing any of these red flags, it’s time to take action:
-
Pools of standing water after rain
-
Erosion or bare patches in your lawn
-
Water leaking into your basement or crawl space
-
Overflowing gutters or downspouts draining too close to the home
-
Mulch or landscaping materials washing away
The longer these signs are ignored, the more extensive—and expensive—the damage can become.
