Detailed grading and drainage checks that help protect your home from water damage and soil settlement.
A grading and drainage inspection looks at how water moves around the home and whether the yard sheds water in the right direction. In Manhattan, where lot shape and seasonal rain can affect a property in different ways, this service helps reduce surprises that show up as basement moisture, foundation stains, or soil washout.
We look at the slope near the home, visible drainage patterns, and exterior conditions that may let water collect close to the structure. If we notice settling soil, runoff marks, or areas where the grade looks too flat, we explain what that could mean in plain terms. In Manhattan, this is useful after heavy rain or on lots where the yard has changed over time due to landscaping or settling.
Water problems often start outside, so this inspection helps catch them while they are still easy to talk through.
