Water is one of the most destructive forces affecting properties in central North Carolina. Without effective drainage, water accumulates around foundations, saturates soil, and creates erosion that compromises structural integrity. Poor drainage leads to flooded basements, cracked foundations, damaged landscaping, and standing water. A well-designed drainage system redirects water away from structures, prevents soil saturation, and maintains property stability. Our systems are engineered to handle North Carolina's heavy rainfall and clay-heavy soils, ensuring long-term protection for your property.
French drains are among the most effective solutions for managing subsurface water. We install perforated pipe surrounded by gravel in a trench that intercepts groundwater and directs it away from problem areas. Our installations include proper slope calculations, quality filter fabric to prevent clogging, and outlet points that safely discharge water away from your property.
Downspouts that empty directly next to your foundation dump thousands of gallons of water in the worst possible location. We install underground downspout systems that carry roof water far from your home, preventing foundation settlement and basement seepage. These systems include properly sized piping, clean-outs for maintenance, and pop-up emitters or connections to drainage swales.
Swales are shallow, vegetated channels that redirect surface water across your property. We design and construct swales that blend naturally with your landscape while efficiently moving water away from structures. Our swale installations include proper grading, erosion-resistant vegetation, and connections to other drainage features when needed.
Dry creek beds combine drainage function with attractive landscaping. These natural-looking stone channels handle occasional water flow while serving as decorative landscape features. We design dry creek beds that manage runoff effectively while enhancing your property's appearance with carefully selected stone and strategic planting.
Commercial properties face unique drainage challenges including large impervious surfaces, stormwater compliance requirements, and high water volumes. We design and install commercial drainage that meets regulatory standards while protecting buildings, parking areas, and landscaping. Our work includes catch basins, storm sewer connections, retention systems, and comprehensive site drainage.
Some properties require comprehensive drainage solutions that address multiple problem areas simultaneously. We design integrated systems that combine French drains, downspout piping, swales, and surface grading to completely resolve chronic water issues. These whole-home approaches ensure every aspect of your property's drainage works together for thorough protection.
Every drainage project begins with a thorough site assessment. We evaluate existing grades, soil conditions, water flow patterns, and problem areas to understand what's causing drainage issues. We then develop a drainage plan tailored to your property's specific needs and budget. During installation, we use proper excavation techniques, quality materials, and precise grading to ensure your drainage system performs as designed. We minimize disruption to your property and restore affected areas to leave your site looking clean and professional.
