Our Proven Process
- 1
Property Drainage Assessment & Design
We conduct a thorough survey of your property's grading, soil composition, downspout locations, impervious surfaces, and natural water flow patterns. Using this data, we identify every area where water collects or flows toward your foundation and design a comprehensive drainage layout specifying drain type, pipe sizing, grade, catch basin placement, and discharge points -- all in compliance with your municipality's stormwater management requirements.
- 2
Excavation & Drain Installation
Our crew excavates drainage trenches to the specified depth and grade, installs perforated drainage pipe surrounded by clean washed stone wrapped in filter fabric to prevent clogging, and connects all components to the discharge system. French drains are installed at footing depth along the foundation perimeter, while catch basins and channel drains are placed at surface water collection points throughout the yard. Downspout extensions are routed underground to discharge at least ten feet from the foundation.
- 3
Grading Correction & Surface Water Management
We re-grade all disturbed areas and correct any negative slope conditions that allow surface water to flow toward your foundation. The finished grade ensures a minimum six-inch drop over the first ten feet from your foundation walls in all directions. Swales and berms are shaped as needed to direct surface water into the drainage system's collection points.
- 4
Backfill, Restoration & System Testing
Trenches are backfilled with proper drainage stone topped with topsoil and seed or sod to restore your landscape. We flow-test the entire system to verify proper drainage rates, confirm that all discharge points are functioning, and ensure no standing water remains. You receive a system layout diagram, maintenance guidelines, and warranty documentation for the complete installation.
