GRADING & drainage solutions

  • A French drain is a trench filled with gravel that contains a perforated pipe. It’s designed to collect and redirect water away from areas where it tends to pool—like along foundations, in basements, or low spots in your yard.

    French drains are one of the most effective ways to manage groundwater and surface runoff. By moving water away from your home or problem areas, they help prevent flooding, foundation damage, and ongoing drainage issues.

    Whether you’re dealing with soggy lawns, basement seepage, or general poor drainage, a properly installed French drain can provide long-term protection and peace of mind.

  • A curtain drain is a shallow trench with gravel and a perforated pipe that’s designed to intercept and redirect surface water or shallow groundwater before it reaches your home, driveway, or lawn.

    Unlike a French drain, which is typically placed around foundations or deeper problem areas, a curtain drain is installed upslope—cutting off water coming from higher ground. It captures runoff and diverts it safely away, helping to dry out wet yards, slopes, or areas prone to erosion.

    Curtain drains are a reliable solution for properties dealing with hillside water flow, heavy surface runoff, or oversaturated soil that doesn’t drain properly on its own.

  • We provide grading work to improve how water moves across your property. Whether it’s to fix areas where water collects, reduce erosion, or prep for drainage installs, reworking the slope of the land helps control runoff and prevent long-term water issues.

  • We provide erosion control solutions to help stabilize soil, prevent washouts, and manage water runoff on your property. Whether it’s from heavy rain, slope instability, or poor drainage, erosion can lead to serious damage to landscaping, foundations, and hardscapes. Our services include installing barriers like silt fencing, erosion control matting, grading adjustments, and drainage systems designed to slow down and redirect water flow. These methods help reduce soil loss, protect structures, and maintain long-term property stability and appearance.

  • We install sump pumps to manage excess groundwater and prevent water from pooling in unwanted areas. Sump pumps are commonly used in basements, crawlspaces, and other locations where water collects due to poor drainage or high water tables. A properly installed sump pump helps reduce the risk of flooding and water buildup during heavy rains or rising groundwater conditions.

  • Video inspection is a method for diagnosing problems within a drain or main sewer line. Using our equipment, we take a look inside your pipes to identify and locate your blockage or potential damage. We can quickly diagnose a problem and offer free estimates to resolve the issue.
