The Problem

Water Near Your Foundation Is a Serious Issue

Residential Commercial
We handle both

Water that pools near or flows toward your foundation causes basement flooding, foundation cracking, soil erosion, and long-term structural damage. The longer it's ignored, the more expensive the repair.

Most homeowners patch the symptoms — they don't fix the grade. We fix the grade.

  • Standing water in yard after rain
  • Water seeping into basement or crawl space
  • Soggy, uneven lawn near the house
  • Erosion along fence lines or property edges
  • Yard that slopes toward the home instead of away

Our Drainage Services

Complete Drainage Solutions,
Start to Finish

We handle the full scope — assessment, grading, drainage installation, and turf restoration.

Yard Regrading & Resloping

Full mechanical regrading using our Bobcat S650. We establish a proper 2% positive slope away from your foundation across the entire affected area, verified with a Topcon RL-H5A rotary laser level.

French Drain Installation

Where regrading alone isn't enough, we install French drain intercept systems — perforated pipe, gravel bed, and filter fabric — routed to a proper outlet away from your property and neighbors.

Pop-Up Emitter Systems

We install PVC drain runs with pop-up emitters that automatically open under water pressure and close when dry — clean, low-maintenance, and effective for downspout and surface drainage.

Topsoil Import & Fill

Proper grading often requires imported premium screened topsoil. We bring in and spread what's needed to achieve correct finished grades — so the slope holds and turf establishes properly.

Turf Restoration After Grading

Once grading is complete, we restore your lawn with seed or sod installation. We don't leave a dirt yard behind — we finish the job.

Neighbor Impact Assessment

We assess where regraded water flows before we start. If redirected drainage could impact adjacent properties, we identify it and include a French drain solution in your proposal — protecting you from liability.
