Why do Drainage damages happen?
Because of the contact with water near your foundation, the compounds in your building materials can rapidly swell up. As a side effect of this pressure, your foundation may be subjected to stress. To deal with stress, the components that support your home may crack, allowing even more moisture into your space. A leaking or cracked foundation can cause your home to sink into the earth, as well as threaten other structural supports. For example, a leaking foundation might allow enough moisture into your home to damage your floor joists. This implies you may have to deal with a sinking floor in addition to the foundation problems.

Because the oxygen content of this ultra-compact soil is lower than it should be, it may cause drainage problems as well as compacted soil that damages your foundation.
