They installed a French drain system and redirected the stormwater away from the house. The results were immediate — after the next big rain, not a single puddle. The team was professional, on time, and left the yard looking even better than before. It’s rare to find a business that combines great service with real expertise, but these guys nailed it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need a French drain?

Persistent wet spots, soggy areas that never dry, water in a basement or crawl space, or pooling near the foundation are common signs. East Tennessee clay soil holds water for a long time, which makes French drains a frequent fix for homes with grade or runoff issues.

Why do downspout extensions matter so much?

A roof can shed thousands of gallons of water in a single storm. If that water dumps right at the foundation, it saturates the soil, weakens the base around your home, and can lead to cracking in nearby concrete surfaces and walls.

Can drainage work be combined with other projects?

Yes, and it usually should be. New patios, driveways, and retaining walls are the right time to plan grading and drainage at the same time, which is more efficient and avoids tearing up finished surfaces later.

How long does a drainage project take?

Smaller jobs like downspout extensions can be completed in a day. A full French drain or larger grading project usually runs two to four days, depending on length, soil conditions, and access. We will give you a clear timeline before we start.

How much does drainage work cost?

Pricing depends on the type of system, length of run, depth, soil conditions, and where the water needs to go. We will scope the project, work through the details with you, and get a free quote here tailored to your situation.

What areas do you handle drainage in?

We handle drainage across Cleveland, Athens, Birchwood, Charleston, Chattanooga, Georgetown, Hixson, McDonald, Ooltewah, Ringgold, Rossville, and the surrounding areas. View our full service area here.

Can poor drainage damage a home's foundation?

Yes. Water that repeatedly collects around a foundation can weaken surrounding soil, increase hydrostatic pressure, and contribute to foundation movement, cracking, and moisture intrusion. Proper drainage helps direct water away before damage occurs.
