Understanding the Importance of Proper Grading

Grading plays a crucial role in how water flows around your property. When done correctly, it prevents pooling, erosion, and foundation damage. Professional grading ensures your land slopes away from buildings, guiding water to safe drainage zones and reducing long-term maintenance costs.

At J&J Services, our grading experts use advanced equipment to assess and shape your land for maximum water control and structural protection.


Common Signs of Poor Drainage

Poor grading can lead to serious property issues that often go unnoticed until the damage is done. Warning signs include:

  • Water pooling near foundations after rainstorms
  • Mold or mildew in basements or crawl spaces
  • Uneven lawns or erosion near driveways and sidewalks
  • Cracks in walls or concrete, often caused by shifting soil

If you notice any of these issues, it’s time to schedule an excavation and grading evaluation before they escalate.
