Residential Drainage Systems We Install

Whether you’re dealing with standing water, foundation seepage, or wet landscaping, we’ll design a drainage system that fits your property’s layout and budget. We use the right tools, materials, and methods to solve moisture problems without cutting corners.

French Drain Installation

We design and install drain tile French drains to redirect excess water away from your foundation, lawn, or low-lying areas.

Grading & Re-sloping

We reshape your property’s slope to ensure proper water runoff and prevent pooling or erosion.

Trench Drains & Channel Drains

Ideal for driveways, patios, or commercial lots, trench drains capture surface water and direct it into proper drainage paths with drain tile.

Drain Tile Installation

Subsurface drainage systems that collect and move groundwater away from basements, crawlspaces, or saturated soil using drain tile.

Basement Water Diversion

We install exterior drain tile systems to prevent water intrusion and protect basements from flooding or moisture damage.

Downspout Extensions

Our team installs and extends downspouts with drain tile to move roof runoff safely away from your building’s foundation.

Common Drainage Questions

Your drainage questions—answered by Minnesota’s experts.
How do I know if my home needs a drainage system?
Common signs include standing water in the yard, water pooling near the foundation, basement seepage, or persistent soggy spots after rain. If you're seeing these issues, a drainage assessment can help determine the best fix.
Can you fix drainage problems without tearing up my whole yard?
Yes—most of our residential solutions are designed to be minimally invasive. We use targeted trenching and grading methods that preserve your lawn and landscaping as much as possible.
What's the difference between drain tile and French drains?
Drain tile is typically a perforated pipe installed near a foundation to collect and move subsurface water. French drains are similar but often used in yards to manage both surface and shallow subsurface water.
Will my system need maintenance?
Most systems are low-maintenance, but we recommend annual inspections—especially for sump pumps, gutter extensions, and areas with heavy tree cover that may clog pipes or grates.
