Soil erosion around foundation — Amstelveen, Noord-Holland
When soil washes away from your home's foundation, it exposes the concrete footer, creates pooling zones where water collects against the house, and can eventually lead to foundation settling or basement leaks. Common causes are missing gutters, short downspout extensions, sloped grading toward the house, or bare soil without ground cover. A landscaper can regrade the perimeter, install drainage swales, add erosion-control plantings, and mulch exposed areas to redirect water away from the structure.
