How do I know if I need drainage work?

If water stands in the same spots after every rain, washes across your drive or lot, or collects around a building, it's worth having someone look at it. Small drainage problems tend to get bigger over time.

Can you fix water pooling on a parking lot?

Yes. We can cut through the pavement, run a drain line to an existing grate or another outlet, and backfill the trench. We'll talk through restoring the surface during the estimate.

Do you have to dig up my driveway or concrete?

Only if that's where the water needs to go. When we do, we cut out just what's needed and haul off the broken concrete or asphalt.

How long does a drainage job take?

It depends on the length and depth of the line, the surfaces involved and the ground conditions. You'll get a timeframe along with your estimate.

How We Approach a Drainage Job

Every property drains differently. We look at existing grades, water flow, soil conditions, and the surrounding improvements before recommending an approach. Depending on the project, work may involve reshaping the ground, excavating a drainage trench, preparing for pipe installation, or improving the flow of surface runoff. The proposed approach is based on the specific conditions of the property. Because we also handle site preparation and grading, we can often combine grading and drainage work as one project.

Trenching for Drainage Lines

We dig trenches to the depth and grade a drainage line needs, bed the line properly, and backfill and clean up when it's done. On paved sites, we cut through the existing concrete or asphalt to get the line where it needs to go.

Before We Come Out

If you can, take photos of the problem area during or right after a rain. Note where the water seems to come from and where it ends up, and point out any drains, grates or downspouts nearby. Utility locating requirements are reviewed during your project assessment, before any digging starts.
