Drainage Solutions in Cornelius, NC — Move Water Away From Your Home

Cornelius clay does not drain. Water that would soak in somewhere else sits on the surface here, kills grass, and finds its way to the lowest point, which is often a crawl space or a basement wall. Drainage is the fix, and it is usually not complicated once the water path is understood.

When You Need Drainage Solutions

Call when puddles last more than a day, when the lawn stays spongy, when mulch floats out of beds, when gutters dump straight against the foundation, or when you smell damp in the crawl space. Soggy ground kills roots, invites mosquitoes, and softens soil under patios and walls. Water against a foundation is the expensive version of this problem, so it is worth solving the season you notice it.

Our Drainage Solutions Process

We walk the property during or right after rain when we can, and we shoot grades to see where water actually goes. Then we design a path for it: surface regrading, catch basins, French drains in gravel and fabric, downspout extensions, dry wells, or swales planted to slow flow. Pipe is sloped properly and daylighted where it can drain freely. We restore sod or mulch over the work. Most jobs run one to four days.

Drainage Solutions Cost in Cornelius

Cost depends on how much water you are moving, trench length, depth, soil and rock conditions, and where the outlet can go. Long runs across a finished lawn cost more than short downspout work. You get a written quote showing the plan before we dig. No hidden fees.
