Drainage

French drains, curtain drains, grading, and water management.

A closer look. A clearer plan.

Give water a better direction.

Standing water, persistent wet areas, or water near your foundation are reasons to review drainage. A property assessment considers the route water takes, the grading, and possible discharge locations before a solution is recommended.

We review how water moves around the home and discuss practical ways to manage it. Options can include French drains, curtain drains, grading, and related drainage work suited to the site.

What we can help with

  • French drains

    Consider a drain system for areas where water collects, with its placement and outlet based on the property review.

  • Curtain drains

    Explore an interception approach where the direction of water movement and site conditions make it appropriate.

  • Grading and water management

    Review surface slopes and water flow to understand whether grading, drainage work, or a combination can address the concern.

From the first conversation

What to expect

  1. Share your concern

    Tell us what you have noticed, where it is happening, and your property address. Photos and a rough timeline can help explain the situation.

  2. Review the property

    Discuss a property visit so the conditions, access, and relevant measurements can be reviewed before repair options are considered.

  3. Understand your options

    Review the proposed scope and ask questions. The right next step depends on what the property review shows.

Useful answers

Before you decide

Which type of drain does my property need?

The right approach depends on where water comes from, where it collects, the slope, and where it can discharge. A French drain, curtain drain, or grading change serves a different purpose; a review helps identify the appropriate option.

Does water near my foundation mean it is damaged?

Water collecting near a foundation is a reason to evaluate drainage, but it does not establish that foundation damage has occurred. Drainage conditions and any foundation concerns need to be reviewed rather than assuming a cause.

What information helps with a drainage estimate?

Photos or video taken safely after rainfall, the locations of wet areas, and how long water remains can help. Include your address and any drainage work you know has already been done.
