We dig perforated pipe trenches around foundations or across yards to collect and redirect groundwater. French drains work well in our heavy silt loam soil when installed at the right depth with proper gravel bedding.
Interior and exterior waterproofing systems keep water out of your basement during heavy rain and spring thaw. We install drainage tile around footings and connect them to sump pumps or daylight drains.
A reliable sump pump is critical when the water table rises or flash flooding hits. We install primary pumps with battery backup systems so your basement stays dry even during power outages.
Standing water in your yard damages grass and creates mosquito breeding grounds. We grade yards, install catch basins, and create swales to move surface water away from buildings and toward proper drainage paths.
Downspouts that dump water right next to your foundation cause most basement problems. We extend downspouts underground and connect them to french drains or pop-up emitters that discharge water safely away from the house.
Crawl spaces flood easily in our wet climate and sitting water leads to mold and structural damage. We install vapor barriers, perimeter drains, and ventilation systems to keep crawl spaces dry year-round.
French drain installation typically runs $3,500 to $8,000 depending on length, depth, and site conditions. A basic system along one side of a house with 50 feet of perforated pipe, gravel, and a pop-up emitter costs around $3,500 to $4,500. Full perimeter drains around a foundation run $6,000 to $12,000 depending on basement size and how much concrete or landscaping we need to remove. Sump pump installation with battery backup costs $1,200 to $2,500. Yard drainage projects with catch basins and grading range from $2,000 to $6,000 based on the amount of excavation and pipe. Heavy clay soil, difficult access, or the need to tunnel under driveways and sidewalks increases labor time and cost. Prices go up if we encounter rock, need to remove old failed systems, or coordinate work around mature landscaping you want to save.
