DRAINAGE SYSTEMS

Your Trusted Partner in Drainage Solutions and Groundwork!

Water drainage is a requirement for any home or building as it helps prevent structural damage. We understand the crucial role that effective drainage systems play in preserving the integrity of your home or business structure. Our comprehensive services aim to remove excess water from around your property, mitigating the risks of flooding, rot, mold, or mildew. With over 35 years of experience, we are well-equipped to address your drainage needs and ensure the longevity of your property.

Types of Drainage Systems:

  1. Surface Drainage: Surface drainage systems are designed to remove water from the top layer of the ground, preventing pooling and surface runoff.

  2. Subsurface Drainage: Subsurface drainage focuses on the removal of water beneath the surface, addressing issues like waterlogged soil and preventing structural damage.

  3. Slope Drainage: Slope drainage systems are engineered to direct water away from inclined surfaces, ensuring proper runoff and minimizing erosion.

  4. Downspout and Gutters: A fundamental component of any structure, downspouts, and gutters help channel rainwater away from the foundation, preventing water-related damage.

Some drainage solutions we provide:

  1. Berms: These raised mounds of earth are strategically constructed along contours or borders of properties to divert water flow, manage runoff, and prevent soil erosion, ensuring the stability and protection of your land against water-related hazards.

  2. Culverts: Are structures typically made of metal, concrete, or plastic, installed beneath roads or pathways to allow water to flow underneath, preventing flooding and erosion.

  3. Soil Grading: The process of shaping and contouring the land surface to achieve proper drainage patterns, directing water away from structures and vulnerable areas to prevent erosion and water damage.

  4. Swales: Are shallow, vegetated channels or depressions designed to convey and manage stormwater runoff, allowing for infiltration of water into the soil, reducing erosion, and improving water quality.

Identifying and Resolving Drainage Issues:

Even if you haven't experienced visible pooling or flooding, drainage issues can still exist. Slow leaks can lead to extensive damage over time. As a general rule, every structure should have a gutter and downspout system in place. If additional drainage solutions are required, our experienced team is well-qualified to assess and choose the best option for your specific needs.

The provider removed a 12X7 foot concrete pond that was used as a water garden, large rocks concreted in place, waterfall, debris and a tree from the back yard of my property. He did a great job of estimating what had to be done, scheduled a time and arrived as planned. Heavy equipment was needed, and he brought it in without damaging any other part of the property or plantings. John and is crew were professional and very pleasant to work with. I would hire him again if I needed this kind of work done. He told me he has torn out a lot of ponds and pools. Well done.
