The Houston area remains at considerable risk of flood - with almost two in three properties having a 26% or higher risk of being severely affected by flood in the coming decades, according to recent research.
Taking a series of essential steps to prevent or reduce flood damage should be a key priority for all owners, says League City Drainage & Irrigation - and the company can assist with complete flood prevention, drainage and irrigation solutions.
“After years of experience, we’ve learned that water issues can come from everywhere: underground, over ground, and on roofs,” said a company representative. “Having properly working gutters is key for water flow and flood prevention in your home or building. If you’ve noticed you have interior leaks in your home, or floods in your property, they could be caused by leaking gutters. Give us a call and we’ll figure out what the problem is and find the right solution.”
The company can install new yard drainage systems, or optimize existing ones to direct water away from flood-prone areas and minimize the risk of flooding.
Depending on your needs, projects may include installing sump pumps and check valves to manage water accumulation effectively. Additionally, the company can install French drains, which facilitate underground water movement, and surface drains to handle runoff.
Rain gardens or dry wells can also be incorporated to absorb and filter excess water. League City Drainage & Irrigation also offers solutions for reinforcing soil stability and landscaping designs that naturally redirect water flow. Each project is adapted to the topography and specific environmental conditions of your property.
In addition to yard drainage, both wet and dry floodproofing services are available. Dry floodproofing includes installing watertight shields for doors and windows and using special sealants to reduce potential seepage through walls, while wet solutions involve using flood vents and ensuring that flood-prone areas are best prepared to minimize damage when exposed to water, explains the company.
