Our Core Drainage Services

French Drain Installation

French Drain Installation

French drains sit just below the surface and pull excess groundwater away from your home before it can seep into basements or crawl spaces. We trench, line, and back-fill with gravel so water flows into a perforated pipe and out to a safe discharge point—all hidden beneath your lawn. It’s a clean, reliable fix that keeps Georgia’s heavy clay from turning your yard into a swamp.

Downspout Gutter Extensions

Downspout & Gutter Extensions

Roof runoff can dump thousands of gallons next to your foundation in a single storm. We attach solid PVC or HDPE lines to each downspout, then bury and slope them so water exits at the curb, a pop-up emitter, or a dry well far from the house. The result: drier crawl spaces, less erosion, and mulch that stays put.

Grading Dry Creek Beds Sump Integration

Grading, Dry Creek Beds & Sump Integration

When standing water comes from uneven terrain, we re-grade low spots and sculpt gentle swales that guide rain downhill. For added style, we build dry creek beds with river rock and native plants—function meets curb appeal. If groundwater still lingers, we tie in an exterior sump pump for extra peace of mind, giving you complete drainage solutions residents can trust.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my yard needs a drainage system?

If puddles linger longer than a day, grass feels squishy underfoot, or water collects near your foundation or basement wall, you likely need professional drainage help.

What are common problems with yard drainage systems?

Typical issues include clogged French-drain pipes, downspouts that dump water too close to the house, collapsed or root-filled lines, and trenches that aren’t sloped enough for water to flow.

How can I prevent flooding or standing water in my yard after heavy rain?

Keep gutters clear, extend downspouts well away from the house, grade soil so it slopes gently downhill, and install French drains or catch basins where water naturally pools.
