Move Water Away From Soggy Ground
Serving homeowners in your area and nearby.
A French drain collects water in a gravel trench and carries it through perforated pipe to a spot where it can safely leave — a lower grade, a dry well, or a daylight outlet. An exterior drain intercepts water in the yard before it reaches the house; an interior drain sits below the basement slab and pairs with a sump pump for water that has already arrived.
On the visit, the professional looks at where water collects, the soil and slope, and where it can be sent, then lays out the drain design along with any grading or downspout work that belongs with it.
Drainage Conditions That Often Prompt a Call
- Standing water that lingers after rain
- Saturated soil that stays soft for days

- Water collecting near the foundation
- Poor natural drainage across the property
- Downspout runoff with nowhere to go
- Water running downhill toward the house
- Erosion channels forming in the yard
- Repeated water problems after each rainfall
- Wet crawl space or basement following storms
A drainage inspection assesses the water source, ground conditions and discharge options so the work can be planned around your property.
Speak with someone about your water, drainage, or foundation problem.

A drainage inspection covers these practical design details:
- Soil type and how quickly it absorbs water
- Grading and slope across the property
- The actual source of the water
- Property layout, utilities, and hardscape
- Available discharge location
- Existing drainage already in place
- Local conditions, codes, and rainfall patterns
Drain layout, depth and discharge are designed around the property. Regrading, surface drains and downspout extensions can be combined with a French drain where appropriate.
Interior and Exterior French Drains Are Different Systems
An exterior French drain intercepts water in the yard or alongside the foundation before it reaches the house. An interior system sits below the basement slab and manages water that has already arrived, usually paired with a sump pump.
Call to arrange a drainage inspection and discuss the system, layout and installation work for your property.
