A wet basement or standing water in your yard is often the result of poor drainage. The draining process may be compromised if your lawn isn’t adequately sloped. Typically, a 1-2% slope is necessary, but your lawn grading may need to be adjusted if you notice water collecting in low spots in your yard. We have the drainage solutions to ensure your lawn has proper grading to move water from one place to another effectively.
Yard Drainage Maintenance
Ongoing maintenance is necessary once your drainage system has been installed. Leaves and other debris can accumulate over time, causing your drains to get clogged and flood. Breaking up any blockages by snaking your drain pipes and regularly checking for cracks, leaks, or other signs of damage ensures your drainage system runs smoothly.

- Water stains in your basement
- Rotting or molding wood
