40+ Years of Stopping Water Damage for Good
Most drainage problems don’t happen overnight. They build up, storm after storm, season after season—until one day, your foundation shifts, your yard erodes, and your structures weaken beyond repair.
The cost?
Thousands in structural damage, sinking landscapes, and unusable property.
Do you see water pooling in your yard after every storm?
Is soil erosion threatening your home’s foundation?
Are your basement and crawl space damp, moldy, or at risk of flooding?
Let’s put an end to your drainage problems before they put an end to your property’s stability.
What’s at Stake? The Cost of Poor Drainage
Most property owners don’t think about drainage until it’s too late. Ground settling is a major factor contributing to drainage issues, leading to water pooling, soil shifting, or cracks forming. By the time you see these signs, the damage is already happening beneath the surface: foundation damage, erosion, basement and crawl space flooding, driveway damage, etc.
The longer drainage problems persist, the more expensive they become. A small fix today saves you thousands in foundation repairs, landscaping restoration, and property loss down the line.
The Most Costly Drainage Mistakes You're Making
Stop drainage problems before they destroy your property. Call 512-914-5177 today for an expert consultation.
You Rely on DIY Fixes – Adding a small pipe or gravel trench might seem like a solution, but without proper grading and water redirection, it won’t last.
You Improperly Installed French Drains – A French drain needs the right depth, slope, and outlet point to prevent clogs and backups.
You Skip Maintenance – Catch basins, sump pumps, and surface drains clog with debris over time. Without regular cleaning, they stop working when you need them most.
You’re Not Consulting a Professional – A bad drainage system is just as dangerous as no drainage system, and the cost of fixing a mistake is always higher than getting it right the first time.

FAQs
1. Will poor drainage affect my property’s resale value?
Absolutely. Homes and commercial properties with drainage issues often suffer from foundation problems, landscaping damage, and structural instability—all of which lower property value and scare off buyers.
2. Are there drainage solutions that also improve the look of my landscape?
Yes. Modern drainage systems may be integrated into your landscape design to maintain functionality and aesthetics. Options like permeable pavers, hidden French drains, decorative dry creek beds, and rain gardens manage water flow.
3. Would poor drainage attract pests to my property?
Yes. Mosquitoes, termites, rodents, and other pests thrive in damp environments. Standing water is a breeding ground for insects, while excess moisture near your home attracts termites that feed on damp wood.
4. How does improper drainage impact indoor air quality?
Excess moisture around a property leads to mold and mildew growth inside. When water seeps into walls, basements, or crawl spaces, it creates humidity issues that allow mold spores to spread, potentially causing respiratory problems and allergies.
5. Does bad drainage lead to plumbing issues?
Yes. When water doesn’t drain properly, it puts extra pressure on underground pipes, causing shifts, cracks, or blockages. Over time, that leads to slow drainage, sewage backups, and costly plumbing repairs.
