SOLID SOLUTIONS / DRAINAGE

Let the water
move on.

Standing water, runoff and roof water need a clear path. Start with the source, then plan a solution around the property.

START WITH THE SOURCE

A plan for where
the water goes.

French drains01

French drains

A subsurface drainage option for areas where water collects. Suitability depends on the site and where the water can discharge.

Discuss french drains
Surface drainage02

Surface drainage

Give water at ground level a defined route, with attention to runoff, erosion and the surrounding landscape.

THE WORK BEHIND THE RESULT

Look beyond
the puddle.

The low spot is only part of the picture. Understanding where water comes from and how it leaves helps shape a useful drainage plan.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

A few good
questions.

Where should I start if water is collecting in my yard?

Take photos or a short video during or soon after rainfall, from a safe position. Show where water enters, collects and leaves the property.

Will a French drain solve every water problem?

No single system fits every site. The water source, levels, soil and available outlet help determine an appropriate approach.

Can drainage be planned with new concrete?

Yes. Considering both together helps account for how a driveway, walkway or slab affects water movement.

What should I include in my request?

Your town, what happens during rain, how long water stays, and any nearby downspouts or paved areas. Photos make the first conversation more useful.
