Why Drainage Matters

Water that doesn’t drain properly can lead to soil erosion, soggy foundations, basement leaks, mold, cracked concrete, and dying plants. Our goal is to direct water away from your structures and living spaces using efficient, discreet, and long-lasting methods.

We assess slope, soil type, rainfall runoff, and elevation before recommending a solution that works for your layout—whether it’s underground drainage, surface redirection, or both.

French Drains & Trench Drains

A French drain is a time-tested system that collects water from saturated soil and channels it away through a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel. We install these drains beneath lawns, garden beds, and paved surfaces for long-term moisture control. Trench drains are ideal for driveways, patios, and concrete areas where surface water needs to be redirected fast.

Grading & Soil Contouring

Sometimes the problem isn’t the drain—it’s the slope. We offer grading and soil reshaping to naturally encourage water to flow away from your house, garage, or patio. This is a cost-effective solution when your lawn or landscape holds water after rain.

Custom Drainage for Every Property

No two yards are the same. That’s why our drainage solutions are fully customized. We evaluate everything from roof runoff to patio placement to lawn elevation and recommend a plan that suits your home and budget. Our drainage systems are designed to blend into your landscape while delivering long-term performance.

Frequently Asked Questions – Drainage Services in Folsom, CA

Q: Why is proper drainage so important?
A: Proper drainage prevents water from pooling around your home’s foundation, lawn, patio, or garden. Without it, you could face erosion, landscape damage, mold growth, soggy soil, and even structural issues like cracks in your concrete or foundation walls.

Q: What are the signs of a drainage problem?
A: Common signs include standing water after rainfall, overly soft or spongy soil, water pooling near the foundation, visible erosion, mildew smells in basements, and dying or yellowing plants due to excess moisture.

Q: What types of drainage systems do you install?
A: We install French drains, trench drains, dry creek beds, swales, catch basins, downspout extensions, sump pump discharge lines, and more. Every system is customized based on your property’s layout and water flow patterns.

Q: What is a French drain and how does it work?
A: A French drain is a gravel-filled trench with a perforated pipe that collects and redirects groundwater away from your home or yard. It’s one of the most effective long-term solutions for yard or foundation drainage.

Q: How do I know if I need grading instead of a drain?
A: If your property has flat or improper slope, water won’t drain naturally. In this case, regrading the soil to direct runoff away from key areas may solve the issue—sometimes in combination with a drainage system.

Q: Can you connect my downspouts to a drainage system?
A: Yes. We often install downspout extensions, catch basins, or underground piping that channels roof runoff safely away from your home or hardscapes.

Q: Do drainage systems require maintenance?
A: Some systems, like French drains and catch basins, may require occasional clearing of debris or sediment buildup. We can provide maintenance guidance or service upon request.

Q: How long does it take to install a drainage system?
A: Most residential drainage projects take 1 to 3 days, depending on the size and complexity. We’ll give you a detailed timeline before starting your project.

Q: Can poor drainage damage my landscaping?
A: Absolutely. Too much water can suffocate roots, attract pests, and lead to plant disease. Proper drainage helps keep your lawn and plants healthy by maintaining balanced moisture levels.

Q: Will a drainage system be visible in my yard?
A: We design our systems to be low-profile and blend into your landscaping. French drains and trench drains are installed underground or neatly along surface lines, and dry creek beds can be decorative as well as functional.

Q: What areas do you serve?
A: We offer drainage services throughout Folsom, as well as El Dorado Hills, Granite Bay, Rancho Cordova, Orangevale, Fair Oaks, and surrounding neighborhoods.

Q: Do you offer free estimates?
A: Yes! We provide on-site evaluations and custom drainage recommendations with a free, no-obligation quote.

Q: Are your drainage solutions permanent?
A: Our systems are designed for long-term performance, using proper grading, durable materials, and proven installation techniques. With proper maintenance, they provide lasting protection against water problems.
