Wet Yard

Wet, damp, mold, and bugs too often describe our homes inside and out. Hugh’s Services can help you dry things up. A wet or flooding yard, wet basement or water home condition can be caused by many different things and is usually corrected on an individual basis.

Directing ground water away from the foundation by installing underground field drains, storm lines and surface swales is often an easy way to get your yard and home dry, both efficiently and affordable. Your lawn retains its same appeal but stays dry even in wet seasons.

Sometimes trees are thinned or removed to allow sunlight and air to evaporate wet, muddy yard areas, and then grass is planted to absorb rainwater. Elevating ground levels around the foundation can help dry out your home, without over spending, to get the job done. It might be a simple field drain can redirect the water.

At times, after the yard is made dry, underground springs or poorly percolating soil, may cause a basement to still remain wet. In these cases, collapsed or incorrectly installed drain tile may be the culprit. Replacing drain tile underneath your basement floor, installing sump pumps and resealing foundation walls usually completes the task.

Once your yard and basement are dry, you can start enjoying your home again. We will even replace your water-damaged framing, drywall, trim and flooring and complete your project with fresh painting or wall-coverings. If necessary, Hugh’s Services can provide a certified mold inspection to demonstrate that your house is completely mold-free for better resale and peace of mind. From start to finish, Hugh’s Services can solve your wet home concerns. Give Hugh’s Services a call today to get your home dry again!
