Solve Standing Water for Good
Standing water near the foundation or in the yard usually points to a drainage problem. We install French drains, channel drains, catch basins, gutter extensions, and sump pumps across eastern NC. Free estimates. Fully insured.
Why It Matters
Your home is most likely your largest investment. Water accumulating near the foundation, soggy spots that never dry out, and runoff washing across your yard all cause damage that gets more expensive the longer it's ignored. The right drainage system collects that water and moves it to a safe discharge point — and most systems disappear completely once the grass grows back.
What we install
Trenches lined with filtration fabric and filled with perforated pipe and drainage stone to redirect surface water and groundwater from low areas where water stands after a rainstorm. Grass grows right over them, making them undetectable in your yard.
The first step in managing drainage is handling the water that comes off your roof. We use PVC piping that adapts to your downspouts and contains the water until a discharge point a safe distance from your foundation.
When space is limited or drain lines need more slope than the terrain allows, an outdoor sump pump lifts the water and pumps it to a discharge point. An automatic float system cycles the pump on when water accumulates and back off to conserve energy.
Channel drains move surface water runoff in areas prone to flooding. They work great installed on pool decks, patios, shops, driveways, garage aprons, and more, and come in many sizes to fit your application.
Large grate-style drains installed in low areas of the yard — a great solution for surface water runoff. Catch basins come in many sizes and inlet grate colors, and can also be installed in concrete or hardscape surfaces.
Not Sure What You Need?
Every drainage problem is different. Most yards use a combination of systems — gutter extensions feeding a French drain, or a catch basin tied to a sump pump. We'll walk your property, find where the water is coming from, and recommend the right solution. Estimates are always free.
See It Work
We don't guess — we test. Before a job is finished, we run water through the system to confirm it captures, carries, and discharges exactly the way it was designed to. Watch a newly installed drain take on a full load of water without missing a drop.

Common questions
Standing water that lingers more than a day after rain, soggy spots in the lawn, washed-out mulch, or water collecting near your foundation are all signs. We'll assess where the water is coming from and recommend the right fix during a free estimate.
A French drain is a gravel-filled trench with a perforated pipe that collects groundwater and carries it away from problem areas. It's one of the most effective ways to dry out chronically wet spots in a yard.
It depends on where the water is and how it moves. Surface water is usually handled with catch basins or channel drains, subsurface water with French drains, and roof runoff with underground gutter extensions. Many yards need a combination.
Trenching is required, but we keep disturbance to a minimum and restore the surface when we're done. Most of the system ends up buried and invisible.
We test every system with running water before we leave the job — you'll see the water move through it and discharge exactly where it's supposed to.
