Our Lawn Drainage Solutions
Our team of specialists works with homeowners and property managers alike to implement effective and permanent solutions to their drainage issues through:
| Drain Tiles | Window Well Installations | Waterway Reconstruction |
| French Drains | Foundation Repairs | Re-grading |
| Permeable Pavers |
After a thorough assessment of your property, we will implement one or multiple of the following landscape drainage solutions:
- Drain tiles: A groundwater opening is created in your yard, which leads to a series of strategically placed pipes that divert water away from areas susceptible to water damage.
- Window well installations: Window wells allow light in while providing an emergency exit through the basement even during floods, as the well creates space between your window and the earth.
- Waterway reconstruction: This lawn drainage solution uses general construction principles to create reinforced channels throughout your yard that carry water to appropriate runoff areas.
- French drains: Similar to drain tiles, French drains use perforated porous piping to carry water away from high-risk areas but are covered with rock or gravel for a more aesthetically pleasing look.
- Foundation repairs: If you require a drainage solution but critical damage has already been done, we can also perform foundation repairs to your building where needed.
- Re-grading: This yard drainage service involves re-shaping the land to safely divert excess water.
- Permeable pavers: These paving bricks allow water to pass through to runoff channels instead of pooling on the surface.
Common Drainage Issue Indicators:
If your lawn is experiencing any of the following, it’s a sign that you may have drainage issues requiring a professional solution:
- Water flooding back into your basement or garage when it rains:With the proper drainage in place, your garage and basement should remain dry even in the heaviest of rains.
- Sump-pump seems to be overworking:Sump pumps can only handle so much water. They should only be a last resort water drainage solution, so if yours is overworking, there’s a major drainage problem that needs to be addressed.
- Large pools of standing water on the lawn or driveway: A lawn drainage system should prevent water from pooling in all areas of your yard.
- Water sitting along the edges of your house: Similarly to lawns, water should not be pooling anywhere near your home.
- Noticeable cracks in your home’s foundation: A cracked foundation is a sign of significant damage from sitting water. Urgent attention is required.
Dangers of Poor Lawn Drainage
Poor lawn drainage comes with a number of serious risks, including:
- Moisture that provides the perfect breeding ground for insects and mold
- A water source that can attract pests like rodents, snakes and lizards
- Increased likelihood of topsoil removal, soil erosion and damage to your home’s foundation
- Damage to your basement from flooding resulting in warped wooden flooring
- Concrete and asphalt degradation
