Foundation & Window-Well Drainage in Missoula, MT

Water beside a foundation often has more than one source. We review roof discharge, the grade beside the wall, window-well depth, walkway edges, visible cracks, and any existing drain. A surface route may carry hillside water away from the wall. A channel drain can collect a narrow driveway edge. A catch basin or buried line can handle a concentrated downspout when the outlet has capacity.

The valley's gravelly alluvial deposits can move water fast in one area and hold it behind finer material in another. We keep that variation in the plan. The scope identifies what a drainage measure can address and when a foundation, structural, or waterproofing contractor needs to inspect the building. The route must protect the home without sending water toward a neighbor or a public way.
