What to know before you start
Find where the water goes
We start by watching how water moves across your property: roof runoff, slope, hard surfaces and low points. The fix follows the water, not a standard kit.
Timing around the rain
Winter is when drainage problems show up, but it is a hard time to dig. We tell you upfront if a job is best done in the dry season, and we can often plan the work so you are covered before the first big storm.
Examples
Questions we hear
What are the signs of a drainage problem?
Pooling water after rain, soggy lawn areas, water against the foundation, erosion channels and staining along walls are the common ones.
Will a French drain fix my problem?
Often, but not always. Sometimes the answer is regrading, a catch basin or fixing where the downspouts discharge. We will recommend what fits your site.
Do I need a permit?
Changes that move water onto a neighbor or into the street are regulated, and some cities have rules for larger drainage work. We will tell you what applies.
