Landscape Drainage
Essential Landscape Drainage Systems
Drainage issues near your home can quickly lead to extensive and expensive damage. Without the proper drainage system, excess water will collect in and around your home and eventually find its way inside.
Signs your home does not have adequate exterior drainage include:
- Foundation cracks
- Overflowing gutters
- Flaking interior walls
- Water stains inside home
- Mildew inside home
- Standing water
- Movement in landscaping
A proper landscape drainage system will be fully customized to fit the unique terrain of your home. This drainage system can include a combination of surface drainage, subsurface drainage, and/or slope drainage. These drainage techniques will collect rainfall and stormwater and direct it away from your home.
How to Fix Landscape Drainage Issues
There are plenty of proven methods to fixing landscape drainage issues. At Dyess Irrigation, we typically use these systems to provide proper drainage:
- French Drains
- Dry Wells
- Sump Pumps
- Re-sloping of the Terrain
The exact scope of your drainage issue will vary. Sometimes, there will be a simple fix, such as extending a pipe or removing a blockage. Other times, a solution will require removing existing, non-functioning drainage grates or pipes and replacing them completely with a better system. In any case, we will thoroughly inspect your property and walk you through all of your options for a fix.
