French Drain Installation

If there’s a low spot in your yard where water likes to pool, we can add a French drain. It’s a trench filled with gravel.

This option works incredibly well for protecting the home’s foundation because it intercepts and redirects groundwater. It also helps your landscaping by preventing oversaturation.

Catch Basin Installation

A catch basin has a grate and a pipe connected to your plumbing system that collects rainwater runoff from your patio and driveway before it puddles in the rest of the yard.

This drainage system not only funnels rainwater away to your sewer line, but also acts as a trap for leaves, sticks, and other debris. In doing so, it helps prevent them from clogging your underground drainage pipes.

Channel Drain Installation

If you have a driveway, patio, or garage entrance that tends to collect water, we can install a channel drain. This type of drain differs from a catch basin because it doesn’t collect water in just one spot.

Instead, the entire length of the grated drain captures surface water and directs it into an underground drainage pipe. It’s especially helpful for large paved areas where rainwater spreads rather than pooling in one location.

Dry Well Installation

With a dry well, you get an underground drainage system without an open or grated top. The system sits completely underground, where it collects water from downspouts and surface drains.

After sitting temporarily in the chamber, the water then gradually soaks into the surrounding soil.

Signs You Need Yard Drain Repair

If your yard drain system isn’t working as it should, you’ll likely notice problems when it rains. The catch basin may start to overflow, or a channel drain may back up.

If low spots in the yard are staying muddy for days, you definitely need to call for service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can yard drains help prevent foundation water damage? ▼
Yes, with a properly designed yard drain system, water will get redirected away from the home’s foundation. In doing so, there’s a much lower risk of the foundation shifting, which is a common contributor to slab leaks. For homes with basements, we’ll recommend installing a sump pump to help further prevent basement flooding during heavy rainfall.
What causes yard drains to become clogged? ▼
During storms, leaves and twigs often get swept into the drainage system by rain and wind. As these materials accumulate in catch basins and channel drains, they restrict water flow, leading to clogs. If you request our yard drain cleaning service, we’ll clear blockages with specialized equipment.
