Drainage in Norfolk, MA

Standing water, a soggy lawn, a wet basement — almost always a drainage problem. We find where the water goes and give it a better path.

Get water away from your foundation

Downspouts dumping at the corner of the house, a grade that pitches back toward the basement, a low spot that never dries out — we diagnose the actual flow path, then install piping and drains that carry water to a safe outlet.

  • Regrading and swales to redirect runoff

Questions

Drainage questions, answered

Water sits in my yard after every storm. What fixes it?
It depends on where the water comes from and where it can go. French drains, yard drains, piped downspouts and regrading all solve different problems, so we look at the grade and the wet area before recommending one.
Can drainage work stop water in my basement?
Exterior drainage and grading move roof and surface water away from the foundation, which is often what is driving water inside. We tell you honestly when the problem is outside our scope.
Where does the water actually go?
To a legal, lower discharge point on the property that keeps runoff off your neighbors and away from structures. We plan the outlet before we dig the trench.
