Drainage Problems in Orlando
Are you struggling with drainage problems around your Orlando home or business? Orlando may be inland, but it’s no stranger to flooding. With a naturally high water table, flat terrain, and frequent heavy rains, drainage issues are one of the most common threats to properties in Central Florida. Left unresolved, poor drainage can cause foundation settlement, water damage, soil erosion, and mold growth.
Foundation Waterproofing 101 provides engineered drainage and waterproofing solutions built specifically for Orlando’s conditions. Partnering with
Foundation Masters, LLC, we deliver long-term drainage systems designed to protect your home or business investment.
Why Orlando Faces Serious Drainage Issues
While Orlando isn’t on the coast, its inland location doesn’t eliminate flood risk. In fact, Orlando has been hit by some of Florida’s worst inland flooding. During Hurricane Ian in 2022, rainfall totals exceeded 14 inches in parts of Orange County, flooding neighborhoods, swamping roads, and pushing water into thousands of homes
(Orlando Sentinel).
Florida’s overall rising water levels make matters worse. According to
NOAA, sea levels statewide have risen more than 8 inches since 1950, raising groundwater levels throughout the state — even in inland cities like Orlando. With less natural drainage capacity, heavy rains are more likely to overwhelm soils and flood yards, driveways, and foundations.
Common Drainage Problems in Orlando Properties
- Standing water pooling in yards, gardens, and driveways
- Water seeping into crawlspaces, basements, or slab foundations
- Soggy lawns that stay wet long after a storm
- Soil erosion undermining patios, sidewalks, and foundations
- Cracks in foundation walls from hydrostatic pressure
- Water intrusion in garages, sheds, and storage areas
