Yard Drainage Questions and Answers
What does a drainage contractor do?
A drainage contractor evaluates how water moves across your property and installs solutions such as French drains, catch basins, underground downspout lines, dry wells and grading to carry water away.
When do I need a drainage contractor?
Call one when water pools in the yard after rain, soil erodes, low spots stay soggy or water flows toward the foundation. Common fixes include French drains, which use a gravel-filled trench and perforated pipe to carry water to a safe outlet, along with catch basins, underground downspout lines and regrading.
How do I choose a drainage contractor?
Ask the contractor to explain where water comes from and where it will go, and whether discharge rules apply where you live. Compare plans, materials and restoration of lawn and landscaping.
What affects the cost of drainage work?
Cost depends on the length of drains, depth, soil and rock, the discharge solution, number of catch basins, grading, access and landscape restoration.
How should I prepare for drainage work?
Take photos or video of the problem during heavy rain, mark irrigation and utilities, and clear items from the work area. Ask where excess soil will go.
