Step 1 of 7 · Question 1 of 1

What's the problem? (required)

A real person responds within 24 hours.

What’s included

This is the work itself, item by item. If your job does not need one of these, it is not on your estimate.

  • Diagnosis of where water goes

    We trace the actual path of the water before proposing a pipe.

  • Lot grading correction

    Ground regraded so surface water runs away from the house instead of toward it.

  • French drains

    Perforated pipe in stone with filter fabric, at a slope that actually carries water.

  • Catch basins and area drains

    Inlets placed at low points and piped to a legal outlet.

  • Downspout management

    Downspouts extended or piped away from the foundation.

  • Weeping tile

    Foundation drainage installed or replaced where the existing has failed.

  • Sump pumps and discharge

    Pumps and discharge lines installed and routed to where the water will not come back.

  • Window wells

    Wells rebuilt, drained and covered so they stop filling.

  • Restoration

    Lawn, beds and hard surfaces reinstated after the trenching.

How it runs

Every job we take on follows the same sequence, from the first call to the walkthrough.

  1. Tell us where the water is

    Pooling in the yard, in the basement, or at a particular corner after rain.

  2. We call you back

    Within 24 hours, to understand the pattern and how long it has happened.

  3. Site visit and written estimate

    We check the grade, the downspouts and the outlet, and quote in writing.

  4. Outlet and permit check

    We confirm where the water can legally go and get any permit required.

  5. Locates and excavation

    Utility locates completed, then trenching to line and slope.

  6. Installation

    Pipe, stone, fabric, basins and pumps installed and tested with water.

  7. Restoration and walkthrough

    Ground restored, the system demonstrated, and the work walked with you.

That is the whole job. Tell us about yours and we will price it — a real person calls you back within 24 hours.
