Residential Drainage Solutions in CT

Effective residential drainage solutions are essential for maintaining the integrity and aesthetics of your Connecticut property. Proper drainage prevents water accumulation that can lead to structural damage, landscape deterioration, and health hazards.

Common Residential Drainage Issues

  • Water Pooling: Accumulation of water in low-lying areas can damage lawns and create breeding grounds for pests.
  • Basement Flooding: Improper drainage around the foundation can lead to water infiltration, causing mold growth and structural issues.
  • Soil Erosion: Uncontrolled runoff can erode soil, destabilizing landscapes and hardscapes.

Our Drainage Solutions

Addressing drainage problems requires tailored solutions based on specific property needs:

  • French Drains: These involve perforated pipes placed in gravel-filled trenches to redirect water away from problem areas. They are effective for managing surface and groundwater issues.
  • Curtain Drains: Similar to French drains but installed at a shallow depth, curtain drains intercept water flowing towards structures, preventing basement flooding.
  • Downspout Extensions: Extending downspouts directs roof runoff away from foundations, reducing the risk of water infiltration.
  • Dry Wells: These underground structures collect and gradually disperse excess water into the ground, alleviating surface pooling.
  • Grading and Swales: Regrading the land and creating shallow ditches (swales) guide water away from structures and towards designated drainage areas.
