How do I know if I need drainage work?
Common signs you may need drainage improvements include:
- Standing water in the yard
- Water pooling near the foundation
- Soil erosion or washed-out mulch
- Soggy lawn areas that never dry
- Water stains or moisture in crawl spaces or basements
What is a downspout drain?
A downspout drain connects to your gutter downspouts and carries roof runoff underground away from the foundation to a safe discharge point.
What is a catch basin?
A catch basin is a surface drain that collects water from low areas and channels it into underground piping to help prevent flooding and standing water.
Where does the water drain to?
Drainage systems discharge water to approved locations such as:
- Pop-up emitters
- Natural drainage areas
- Swales
- Street or approved municipal outlets (where permitted)
All systems are designed to follow local codes and site conditions.
Can drainage be installed in an existing yard?
Yes. Drainage systems can be installed in existing landscapes with minimal disturbance, and we take care to restore affected areas as much as possible.
Will drainage damage my lawn or plants?
Temporary disturbance may occur during installation, but we work carefully to minimize impact and avoid unnecessary damage to roots, trees, and existing landscaping.
Can drainage help protect my foundation?
Yes. Proper drainage helps move water away from the foundation, reducing the risk of erosion, moisture intrusion, and long-term structural issues.
Do drainage systems require maintenance?
Yes. Periodic maintenance such as cleaning catch basins, checking outlets, and flushing lines helps ensure proper performance.
