Footing Drain Repair for Kingston Homes and Properties

Footing Drain Repair in Kingston

Roots and the odd boulder off Miller Bay Road pushes groundwater at the foundation all winter. In Kingston the uphill side of the house is usually where water enters, and that's where we start on wooded acreage along South Kingston Road. We diagnose first, excavate only what needs it.

From Arness Park to Highway 104 the pattern holds for footing drain repair: 1970s polyethylene on acreage, beach deposits along the cove, wooded acreage along South Kingston Road, and an owner who noticed a PUD bill nobody can explain first.

Near Arness Park the sequence is downspouts, grading, footing drain, interceptor drain. Checking in that order keeps a homeowner on wooded acreage along South Kingston Road from excavating a foundation to solve a downspout. For footing drain repair we excavate the foundation before we dig beach deposits along the cove.

Roof water should never tie into a footing drain; it overwhelms it. On Kingston homes near the ferry terminal we find exactly that, and the fix is separating the downspouts to their own outlet while the footing drain under long gravel driveways through fir is rebuilt. Grade goes back sloping away.

Footing drains and interceptor drains are routine here. Those long runs are the whole story of leak detection here.

Beach deposits along the cove doesn't absorb much, so water on wooded acreage along South Kingston Road has to be carried away, and when the old drains fail it ends up at the foundation. Footing drain repair is how we build drains that still flow in twenty years.
