Keep Roof and Ground Water Off the House
Serving homeowners in your area and nearby.
Exterior drainage is the chain that controls where rain goes once it hits the roof and the yard: gutters and downspouts, buried discharge lines that carry water away from the wall, catch basins at collection points, and grading or swales that slope water toward a safe outlet.
The professional checks each link and finds the weak one — often a downspout emptying at the wall or ground that slopes back toward the house — then lays out the fix.
Exterior Conditions Worth Having Inspected
- Water pooling around the house after rain
- Downspouts discharging next to the foundation
- Overflowing or undersized gutters
- Splash-back staining on siding or brick
- Soil settling or sinking beside the foundation
- Grading that slopes toward the house
- Wet window wells
- Saturated soil along foundation walls
- Runoff crossing driveways, patios, or walkways
- Erosion at the drip line of the roof
Several of these often occur together. An inspection is used to sort out which ones actually matter at your property.
Speak with someone about your water, drainage, or foundation problem.

Recommendations depend on the property, but commonly include some combination of the following:
- Buried downspout extensions and discharge lines
- Catch basins at collection points
- Surface and channel drains
- Foundation-perimeter drainage
- Regrading to slope water away from the house
- Swales to route runoff safely
- Window well drains and covers
- Erosion control along runoff paths
Exterior drainage is distinct from sewer repair, drain cleaning, and indoor plumbing. Work involving clogged fixtures or sewer lines is handled by a plumber, not by exterior drainage service.
Exterior Work and Basement Moisture Are Connected
Homeowners often call about a damp basement and learn during the inspection that the biggest contributors are outside: a downspout emptying at the wall, negative grading, or runoff arriving from higher ground.
Because of that, exterior drainage improvements are frequently discussed alongside — or instead of — interior work. What gets recommended depends on what the inspection finds.
