Drainage Solutions
Fixing yard drainage problems can help to keep water from accumulating near the foundation of your home and entering the basement and causing the need for a waterproofing system to be installed. We have solutions to keep the water flowing in the right direction (away from your home), by making sure your gutters, downspouts and window wells are working properly. When you have water puddling or pooling in your yard you may find yourself asking “Why is it important to stop or prevent yard flooding?” but we have the answers.
When you have moisture building up your lawn, it’s never a good thing. It’s going to eventually make its way into the ground and seep into your basement through the cove joint, or through wall or floor cracks. This water can cause serious damage to this space below your home – it will damage a nicely finished basement and could certainly ruin any family heirlooms or important items that are stored down there. Additionally, the added moisture and humidity can lead to the growth of nasty mold and bacteria, which will eventually make its way upstairs into your main living space.
It’s also important to keep excess rain water from flooding your lawn if you have a garden or landscaped area. This could kill your plants, and it’s also going to be very inviting to mosquitoes. Needless to say, this is not something you want on your lawn, so call us for the most effective yard and drainage solutions for your home!

Underground Downspout Extensions
Yard and Drainage Solutions – Underground Downspout Outlets
Installing a system of underground downspout extensions can help ensure water is not dumping straight into your yard but instead into a controlled area away from the home. The underground downspout extension system we install will ensure water is moved far from your home, will remain clog free, will help reduce erosion in your lawn, and can be installed under most sidewalks.
We also offer underground extension for your sump pump discharge lines, which will prevent your sump pump from discharging right next to your house and causing soil erosion or even seeping right back into your basement.
Water Accumulating Near Foundation
Yard and Drainage Problems – Water Accumulating Near Footer
If there is water accumulation around the foundation of your house because that is where your downspouts drain or your above-ground extensions get knocked off, it is imperative that you extend your downspouts your downspouts away from your house permanently. Dumping large amounts of water near your foundation can cause your sump pump to run excessively. Even more concerning is the impact of the water around your foundation can cause the underlying soil to move unevenly, which could lead to structural problems that require foundation repairs.
