Checking your driveway’s drainage is important so that you can ensure there is no water damage to your driveway. A common sign that your driveway has poor drainage is if water pools on your driveway for long periods of time. A good way to check your driveway’s drainage is to observe your driveway after it rains. If there’s pools of water or puddles in certain areas, your driveway most likely has poor drainage. Another good way to check your driveway’s drainage is to conduct a water test. You can pour a bucket of water on your driveway and watch how the water flows. If the water flows away from your driveway, then your driveway has good drainage.
