What we do

Drainage Services in Chester County & the Main Line, PA

9 services covering every common cause of water on a residential property — surface, subsurface, roof and foundation.

Choosing

Which service does your property actually need?

Standing water is a symptom, and the same puddle can come from causes that have nothing in common. Ground falling toward the house, roof discharge released at the foundation, a low point with no outfall, subsurface seepage on a slope, runoff arriving from upslope, or compacted soil that will not accept water — six conditions, six different corrections.

That is why we assess before proposing a system. Installing the right system for the wrong problem is the most expensive mistake in residential drainage, and it does not fail immediately: it fails a couple of seasons later, once the lawn has grown back over it.

The services below are ordered by how often homeowners in this region search for them.

Services

Every drainage service we install

French Drain Installation
Subsurface French drain systems that intercept groundwater and carry it away from the house before it reaches the foundation.
Perforated pipe / Washed stone / Filter fabric / Solid outfall pipe
Yard Regrading & Grading
Reshaping the slope of a yard so surface water runs away from the house instead of collecting against it — often the cheapest permanent fix.
Topsoil / Positive slope to daylight / Seed or sod restoration
Yard Drainage Systems
Catch basins, area drains and collection lines for chronically wet lawns, low spots and soggy ground that never dries out.
Catch basins / Area drains / Collection piping / Pop-up emitters
Basement & Foundation Drainage
Exterior foundation drainage — footing drains, waterproofing and grade correction that stop water before it reaches the basement wall.
Footing drain / Exterior membrane / Drainage board / Regraded backfill
Downspout Drainage & Tie-Ins
Underground downspout extensions that carry roof water well away from the foundation instead of dumping it at the corner of the house.
Solid PVC pipe / Downspout adapters / Pop-up emitters / Catch basins
Standing Water Solutions
Diagnosis and correction for yards that hold water for days after rain — the symptom that usually has more than one cause.
Percolation assessment / Grade correction / Subsurface collection
Sump Pump Discharge Lines
Buried sump discharge lines run to a proper outfall, so pumped water leaves the property instead of cycling back to the sump.
Buried discharge line / Freeze-resistant outfall / Pop-up emitter
Swale Installation
Shallow grassed channels that move surface water across a property along a controlled route, without pipe.
Shaped channel / Stabilised base / Turf or stone lining
Gutter Drainage & Roof Runoff
Managing the roof water side of the problem — gutter capacity, discharge points and where that volume actually ends up.
Discharge tie-ins / Underground carriers / Splash-zone correction
