At Clear-View, Inc., we pride ourselves on finding effective and lasting solutions for our customers. Recently, we tackled a challenging project in Belmont, NC, where the exterior of a building had been dealing with flooding issues for over five years. Medium to heavy rains would overwhelm the area, causing water to pool near the side entry door and intrude into the building—a frustrating and costly problem for the property owners.
To put an end to the flooding once and for all, we implemented a comprehensive solution:
- Grading the Landscape:
We carefully re-graded the surrounding grass area to ensure proper water flow away from the building. This crucial step redirects rainwater, preventing it from pooling near the structure. - Encouraging New Growth:
After grading, we seeded and fertilized the area to encourage healthy grass growth. A lush, established lawn plays a vital role in reducing erosion and managing water flow. - Monolithic Curbing and Gutters:
To address the immediate water intrusion near the side entry door, we excavated around the flower beds and installed monolithic curbing and gutters. This system efficiently channels water away from the building, preventing it from entering the structure. - Strategic Piping:
We added pipes through the curbing to carry water further away, ensuring that no rainwater collects near critical entry points.
In just a few days, we transformed this problem area into a functional and well-protected landscape. The property owners now have peace of mind knowing their building is safe from flooding, even during heavy rains.
