Problems…
- Can lead to soil erosion around house and improper grade, compounding the seepage problem
- Can cause damage to the structure and integrity of the foundation if left untreated
- Water infiltration can result in a destructive high humidity level in your basement, causing mould growth, dust mites, dry rot, rusting on appliances and family illness

Tips for Maintaining Your Water Dispersion System…
- Keep Eve troughs and downspouts clean
- Flush out the line a couple of times a year, especially before winter sets in
