Water is the number one enemy of any foundation. When water pools around your home, it saturates the clay soil, causing it to expand and push against your foundation walls (Hydrostatic Pressure). Our drainage solutions are designed to manage this water flow, capturing it before it can cause damage and diverting it safely away from your property.
We design custom systems based on your property's topography. This includes French Drains to capture subsurface groundwater, surface catch basins for heavy rain, and downspout extensions. By keeping the soil around your foundation dry and stable, we prevent bowing walls and basement leaks.
French Drains capture groundwater moving through the soil, while Surface Drains (catch basins) capture rainwater from puddles and downspouts.
We pipe the water to a safe discharge point, such as the street curb or a low spot in your yard, at least 15 feet away from your foundation.
It is the best prevention. By keeping moisture levels constant around your foundation, you stop the soil from expanding and heaving your slab.
