Custom-Designed Surface/Storm Water Drainage Solutions
Rain and snow melt aren’t strangers to us here in Minnesota. Without proper drainage, you may experience surface/storm water problems such as standing/pooling water in your yard, a wet basement, or a downspout flooding your lawn. Diversified Drainage provides effective drainage systems, custom-designed to solve your specific water issue with minimal impact on your property, landscape, and wallet.
When it comes to correcting a surface water problem, our experts consider several factors to ensure a long-lasting and effective solution:
- Specific source of the issue
- Location & size of problem area
- Volume of water to be drained
- Natural impact/flow of rain & snow melt
- Effect of current downspout/sump pump discharge
- Suitable locations to divert/discharge excess water
- Applicable codes, regulations, & restrictions
- Landscape grade & existing structures
- Proximity to neighbors
- Overall size of property relative to problem area
- Types & locations of utilities
- What’s most cost-effective
We can’t control the amount of precipitation Mother Nature sends our way. However, the experts at Diversified Drainage can help protect your property from flooding, damage, and other disasters with a customized storm water solution. And that starts with treating the issue at its source. Our drainage specialists use invaluable experience and expertise to pinpoint the problem and provide a complete correction.

Landscape Regrading
Often done in conjunction with other drainage solutions, landscape regrading creates a uniform slope that helps direct the flow of surface water to a safe location away from your foundation. Attractive features, such as swales and berms, that add aesthetic appeal along with improved drainage can also be incorporated.
Landscape regrading helps fix and prevent:
- Pooling water in yard
- Wet basements
- Erosion/settling in lawn
- Standing storm water
- Frost heaving
- Unstable lawn/soil

Catch Basins
Catch basins, also called storm drains or curb inlets, remove storm and surface water runoff before it can saturate the ground and causes serious issues. They work well in tight areas and preserve the existing landscape features, making them a perfect addition to a custom drainage system or on their own.
Catch basins help fix and prevent:
- Storm water runoff not draining
- Frost heaving
- Pooling water in yard
- Wet basements
- Poor drainage in tight spaces
- Standing rain, snow melt

- Wet basements
- Lawn, flower bed erosion
- Frost heaving
- Icy sidewalk, driveway
