Pooling and puddling water are an eye-sore and can lead to more serious (and expensive) issues over time. Proper drainage is vital to a healthy property for a variety of reasons such as:

• Prevents soil erosion
• Prevents standing water that can attract all types of unwanted pests
• Prevents water damage to plants & structures

Downspout Drain Systems

It is important to get water as far away from your building’s foundation as possible. Average downspouts dump water directly next to your building’s footing, but with a downspout drainage system water is taken at least 10 feet away from your business. Our downspout drainage systems consist of high-quality PVC pipe connected to your existing downspout then placed into a trench and connected to a pop-up emitter.

French Drains

French drains provide an easy channel for water to flow through. Water runs into a gravel-filled trench, then into perforated pipe at the bottom of the trench.

Water travels freely through the pipe, which empties a safe distance from your business.

The trench bottom should be sloped about 1 inch for every 8 feet in the direction you want water to flow. Depending on your situation, the water can be diverted to:

• A low-lying area of the property
• A drainage ditch
• A dry well
• The street
• Sump pump pit

Dry Well Drainage Systems

A dry-well is either a structure with holes in it that is installed in the ground or a hole filled with gravel. The purpose of a dry-well is to collect water & disperse it into the ground over a period of time. Dry wells are useful in situation where there is nowhere to drain water on or off the property or where it is necessary to retain water on the property. How successful a dry-well performs is dependent on the percolation of water through the soil. While clay soils tend to hold water for long periods of time, sandy soils drain water rapidly.
