FAQs

Expanding soil can make a structure’s foundation “float”, causing interior and exterior walls to crack and, at worst, the foundation’s structural integrity to fail. To protect a foundation on swelling soils, roof drainage must be carried away from the soil closest to the foundation. This prevents the soil from becoming saturated and creating an unstable environment for the foundation.

THE COST

• The average cost of foundation repair is currently about $6,00+ but can cost tens of thousands.
• Homes that are not protected with a properly installed rain removal system are more likely to suffer foundation damage and            are less likely to retain their value.
• Studies show that 70% of homes have improper gutter systems or no gutter systems at all.
• Experts all agree that foundation damages left unrepaired will continue to worsen and become more expensive to repair.

THE LEGALITIES

IRC is a stand alone residential code that creates minimum regulations for one and two-family dwellings. 

Section R-401.3 addresses diversion of surface drainage away from foundation walls: “Drainage shall be diverted to a storm sewer conveyance or other approved point of collection that does not create a hazard”

Section R-801.3 addresses the requirement of roof drainage in areas known to have expansive and/or collapsible soil: “In areas where expansive or collapsible soils are know to exist, all dwellings shall have a controlled method of water disposal from roofs that will collect and discharge all roof drainage to the ground surface at least 5′ away from foundation walls or to an approved drainage system.”

PREVENTING FOUNDATION FAILURE

Experts agree that a quality rainwater diversion system is the most effective way to safeguard your investment from the costs and stress that comes with a damaged foundation. 

“The most effective wayto provide uniform moisture control… is to install roof eave gutters and downspouts and ground level elbow extensions.”

“It is our professional opinion that a roof drainage system is required to adequately protect the foundation of your home.”
