Residential service
North Texas clay holds water, and water next to a slab is trouble. We design and install French drains, channel drains, and downspout tie-ins that move water away from your house for good.

Why it matters
Standing water is more than a muddy yard. Water pooling against your foundation can lead to cracks, settling, and moisture inside the home — some of the most expensive repairs a homeowner faces. A properly designed drainage system intercepts that water and moves it safely away, protecting your foundation, landscaping, and peace of mind every time it storms.
We look at grades, downspouts, and where water collects — photos from real storms help — to understand the source before proposing anything.
A drain is only as good as where it discharges. We plan the pipe route, depth, and outlet so water leaves your property legally and effectively, with utilities located before digging.
Trenches are graded correctly, pipe and gravel are placed to keep flowing, and we verify drainage performance before restoring the surface.
Surface runoff, downspout discharge, and saturated soil require different solutions. Looking at grade and flow paths helps identify whether a French drain, surface inlet, channel drain, or another approach fits the problem. Photos taken during rain can be especially useful.
Pipe alone will not solve a drainage problem without a suitable outlet and the right grade. A plan should account for property boundaries, nearby structures, utilities, and applicable drainage rules. Moving water toward a neighbor's property is not a sound solution.
Share photos or video of standing water after rain. Point out known utilities, irrigation lines, and previous drainage work; utility locations should be confirmed before excavation.
Keep gutters, downspouts, and drainage inlets clear. Check outlets after storms and avoid covering them with soil, mulch, or landscaping changes.
FAQ
No. Surface collection or grading changes may be more appropriate. The source of water and a viable discharge location determine the options.
They can be part of a drainage plan, but roof runoff volume and the outlet must be considered. A connection should not overload the system.
Drainage can address water management, but it is not a diagnosis or repair for structural damage. Foundation concerns should also be evaluated by a qualified specialist.
