Long-Lasting, Effective Ground Water Drainage Solutions
Ground water, or subsurface water, flows through the soil and rock pore spaces below the earth’s surface. The term “water table” refers to the top level of the saturated soil, which constantly fluctuates depending upon the season and amount of precipitation. A high water table allows water to reach the surface, as do springs and artesian wells.
While completely natural, excessive levels of ground water due to improper drainage can pose a serious risk to your home’s foundation, yard, and landscape.
Warning signs of a ground water problem include:
- Excessively wet, soggy lawn
- Pooling water in yard
- Uneven/unstable lawn
At Diversified Drainage, we understand that properly fixing underground water problems requires treating them at the source. We have the experience, expertise, and equipment to accurately identify and correct the issue rather than provide a temporary fix.

French Drains
French drains channel water away your home to protect the foundation, lawn, and basement from flooding and damage. They consist of a perforated drain pipe that's surrounded by rounded gravel and buried in a trench leading to a storm water system or other outlet.
French drains help fix and prevent:
- Soggy lawns
- Wet basement
- High water table
- Pooling water in yard
- Frost heaving
- Leaking/eroding foundation
Curtain Drains
Curtain drains are similar to French drains, except they feature a shallow trench and aren't completely buried. This allows for assistance with surface/storm water as well as ground water drainage.
Curtain drains help fix and prevent:
- Standing surface water
- Storm water runoff not draining
- High water table
- Wet basement
- Frost heaving
-
Leaking/eroding foundation
Foundation Drainage System
Foundation drainage systems capture ground water and channel it away from your home before it can damage the foundational integrity or seep into the basement. They essentially function as a French drain installed around your home’s foundation.
Foundation drainage systems help fix and prevent:
- Wet basement
- Basement flooding
- High water table
- Unstable, soggy lawn
- Foundation leaks, damage
- Standing water
Waterproofing Foundation Walls
While most concrete or cinder block foundation walls were sealed during initial construction, the tar-like substance isn't indestructible or everlasting. Protect your basement and foundation with updated waterproofing from Diversified Drainage.
Waterproofing foundation walls help fix and prevent:
- Leaky foundation walls
- Wet basement
- Damaged/deteriorating foundation
