Keep Your Property High & Dry with Customized Home Drainage Solutions
Every yard has its own challenges when it comes to managing water. That’s why we design custom drainage systems based on your property’s slope, soil, and runoff patterns. Our goal is to keep your home dry and your yard protected with solutions that are built to last.
Trench Drains
Trench drains are linear systems used to capture large volumes of surface water across wide, open areas. These systems are commonly installed along driveways, garage entrances, or pool decks. Water flows into a long, narrow trench and is carried away through an underground pipe system. They are ideal for controlling runoff across hardscapes without allowing water to spread or pool.
Channel Drains
Channel drains are long, narrow systems installed at the surface of driveways, patios, and walkways. They collect and redirect water before it can pool or damage paved areas. These drains are ideal for managing runoff across sloped or high-traffic surfaces. Their low-profile design allows them to perform efficiently without disrupting the look of your property.
French Drains
French drains work underground to move excess water away from areas where it tends to collect. A perforated pipe is laid in a gravel-filled trench to encourage smooth water flow through the soil. This type of system is especially helpful near foundations, gardens, or soggy lawn areas. It offers long-term relief from persistent moisture without changing the appearance of your yard.
Catch Basins
Catch basins are placed in low points of your yard where water naturally gathers. A grated cover allows water in while blocking debris, which helps prevent backups. Connected piping carries the water safely away from your home or landscape features. These systems are useful for managing heavy runoff and keeping lawns clear of puddles.
Dry Wells
Dry wells are underground containers that store excess water and slowly release it back into the soil. They help prevent flooding, oversaturation, and surface erosion after heavy rain. Dry wells are often used at the end of a drainage system to handle overflow. Because they’re buried, they keep your yard looking clean and undisturbed.
Pop-Up Emitters
Pop-up emitters provide an exit point for water that has been redirected through a drainage system. They stay closed when not in use, then rise to release water only when needed. This helps move water away from the home without leaving exposed pipes or open drains. Once the system empties, the emitter lowers back into place, keeping your yard neat and safe.
Grates
Grates are installed over drains to allow water in while keeping out leaves, mulch, and other debris. They are available in a range of materials and designs to match both function and style preferences. A good grate helps maintain the performance of your drainage system and reduces the need for frequent maintenance. Whether used over basins, trench drains, or curb inlets, grates are a key part of system durability.
Storm Chamber Systems
Storm chamber systems are large underground units built to handle significant volumes of water during heavy rain. They temporarily hold stormwater and release it gradually into the ground to reduce runoff and flooding. These systems are especially useful for larger properties or areas with limited space for surface drainage. Their strength and capacity make them ideal for high-demand applications.
Drainage Fittings
Drainage fittings connect the parts of a drainage system to ensure smooth flow and long-term reliability. This includes elbows, tees, couplings, and adapters that allow pipes and components to work together efficiently. High-quality fittings are essential for preventing leaks and keeping water moving where it needs to go. Proper installation of fittings helps your entire drainage system perform at its best.
Why Drainage Is Important To Your Home
Proper drainage plays a vital role in protecting your Montgomery home, even if it’s not the most visible system on your property. When left unaddressed, poor drainage can cause a wide range of costly and long-term problems. Investing in a reliable solution now can prevent serious damage later.
- Prevents foundation damage: Redirects water away from your home’s base to reduce the risk of cracking, shifting, and structural weakening.
- Reduces soil erosion: Helps keep your yard intact by preserving topsoil during heavy rains and runoff.
- Prevents basement flooding: Stops water from entering lower levels of your home, reducing the risk of costly water damage.
- Controls moisture and mold: Minimizes excess ground moisture to help prevent mold, mildew, and musty odors.
- Discourages pests: Eliminates standing water that attracts mosquitoes, insects, and other moisture-loving pests.
- Preserves landscaping: Protects plants, trees, and garden beds from drowning roots and oversaturation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Residential Drainage
Common signs include water pooling near the foundation, soggy or uneven patches in the yard, mildew smells in basements, or visible erosion along walkways or landscaping. Cracks in walls, shifting soil, or warped flooring may also point to underlying drainage issues. If anything feels off, it’s worth having your system evaluated. Early detection can help prevent major repairs later.
Yes. Drainage is about more than flood prevention. Even small amounts of moisture that linger around your foundation or yard can lead to mold growth, soil instability, or structural damage over time. A good system manages water consistently and keeps your home protected throughout the year.
That depends on your yard’s layout, slope, soil type, and where the water is coming from. We offer a variety of solutions including French drains, channel drains, catch basins, and dry wells. After evaluating your property, we’ll recommend the combination that best fits your needs. No two drainage plans are exactly alike.
Yes. Most drainage systems are installed with minimal disruption to your landscaping. We plan carefully to preserve grass, garden beds, and hardscapes wherever possible. Once the system is in place, everything is restored for a clean, finished result.
Some components, like catch basins or pop-up emitters, benefit from occasional cleaning to prevent clogs. Most systems require very little upkeep after installation. We’ll walk you through any routine checks that help your drainage system last longer. If you ever notice slow drainage or pooling again, a quick inspection is all it takes to get ahead of it.
