Drainage Problems We Fix

Drainage is just one of the many ways that foundation damage can occur. The first step to fixing poor drainage is to identify the source of the problem. Below are some of the most common drainage problems we repair.

Surface Drainage

Water always needs a place to go. If your yard doesn’t slope away from your house water will collect next to your foundation. We install surface drainage systems that catch water at ground level and move it away before it can cause problems.

Poor Grading

The slope of your yard decides where water goes. If the ground tilts toward your house, rainwater will flow right to your foundation. We can adjust the grading so water moves away from your home instead.

Soil Washout

Heavy rain can wash soil away from your foundation, leaving gaps and making your home more vulnerable to foundation damage. Installing the right drainage system helps prevent erosion and keeps the soil in place to support your house.

Hydrostatic Pressure

Groundwater traveling beneath your foundation creates upward pressure that can crack slabs. French drains intercept this groundwater before it reaches your foundation, relieving the pressure that causes movement.

Our Drainage Repair Methods

At Structured Foundation Repairs, we use reliable methods to fix foundation problems caused by moisture. Each solution is designed to handle a specific drainage issue. Some common methods include:
  • French Drain Systems – Perforated pipes buried in gravel-filled trenches collect and redirect groundwater away from your foundation, preventing it from migrating underneath.
  • Surface Drain Systems – Collection boxes (usually 9x9 or 12x12 inches) connected to PVC pipe capture surface water and channel it to more appropriate discharge points.
  • Channel Drains – Long, narrow drains installed across driveways or walkways intercept water flow before water reaches your foundation.
  • Grading and Diversion – Reshaping your yard’s contours so water naturally flows away from your home rather than pooling near it.
