Excelsior’s proximity to Lake Minnetonka, combined with hilly terrain and older infrastructure, makes effective water control a must. Whether you're managing runoff from upland slopes, protecting a basement near the lake, or resolving saturation around a commercial building, French drains offer a long-term fix. At Diversified Drainage, we design each system to match the unique grading, soil type, and hydrology of your Excelsior property.
Yes. Many lakeside homes near Lake Minnetonka experience high water tables and yard saturation. French drains help protect foundations and control water migration from upslope areas.
If you see standing water, basement seepage, or soggy ground that doesn’t dry out, a drainage assessment can determine if a French drain is the best solution.
Absolutely. We integrate French drains beneath or around patios, retaining walls, and walkways to prevent water buildup and structural shifting.
