Underground Drainage Systems FAQs

Why dig drainage by hand?

Heavy equipment can crush lawns, crack pavers and cut irrigation lines. We dig every trench and leach basin by hand, which keeps your property intact and lets us work in tight spaces.

What is a leach basin?

A leach basin is a buried chamber that collects water from your leaders and lets it soak slowly into the surrounding soil, away from your foundation. We size and place basins based on your roof, yard slope and soil.

How do I know if I need underground drainage?

Signs include water pooling next to the house, a damp or musty basement, soil washing away at the downspouts and erosion around the foundation. We evaluate your roof, corners and yard slope during a free estimate.
