Drainage - What's the right solution for me?
There are many answers. Ask almost anyone what you should do about your drainage issues and you will get an answer that reflects a range of individual experiences and opinions.
The solution that's right for you depends on your concerns and issues, expectations, budget and other mitigating factors. Understanding that drainage solutions are a combination of "your needs" and "other's experience" is the first step in understanding that different solutions are going to be presented to you.
The next step is to ask yourself what it is that is bugging you or what you perceive to be the issue that is potentially causing harm to your home. In addition, there may be other issues that you have not thought of along your journey to finding the right solution for you.
Consulting with experts will give you multiple scenarios, leaving you to wonder which is right? I look at it this way - when it comes to experts, everyone has something to say.
Getting educated on what, how and why different drainage approaches can be addressed for your home will help you make your "best decision". This will enable "you" to be part of the solution, and that's the key.
As an old saying goes:
"When you find yourself overboard, it's best to be an active participant in your own rescue".
