Drainage Systems done right
Water is the thing that damages most yards and foundations. If it runs toward the house, pools in a low spot or washes out a slope, the fix is usually to move it somewhere else on purpose.
We install French drains, channel drains and downspout runs, and regrade yards so water drains away from the house. Jovar walks the property, finds where the water goes, and puts a plan in writing. It’s the same approach we use behind every retaining wall we build.
What’s included

Signs you have a drainage problem
Standing water after rain
Puddles that last for days point to low spots or compacted ground that needs a drain or regrading.
Water near the foundation or basement
Gutters and grade should send water away from the house. If they don’t, it needs fixing.
Washed-out slopes or mulch
Fast-moving water carries soil away. A drain or a wall can slow and redirect it.
Downspouts that dump at the foundation
A downspout run carries the water out into the yard instead.

Questions about drainage systems
What is a French drain?
A trench filled with drainage stone and a perforated pipe that collects water and carries it away from the problem area.

Yes. We handle drainage on its own, and we also build it into retaining walls, patios and walkways.

Usually the answer is regrading, a drain or both. Jovar will look at it on the walkthrough and tell you what he’d do.
