French Drain Installation
Rock-and-fabric drains that collect water below the surface and pull it away from foundations and low spots.
There's a tremendous amount of drainage work in Winter Garden - clay-heavy soils, newer growth, and afternoon storms that put water where it shouldn't be. We fix it right.
Winter Garden's soils run heavy on clay, which holds water far longer than the sandy ground closer to Oviedo. A clay lot after a storm is a swamp that dries slowly. Add in the rapid new residential growth around the northwest side of town, where lots were graded to construction standard rather than drainage perfection, and you get the soggy yards and wet foundations we fix every week.
The good news is most of it is fixable with honest, right-sized drainage: a properly-pitched yard drain to move surface water off the lot, a regrade when the pitch is wrong, or a French drain when water is rising toward the foundation. We diagnose which your property needs on site.
Our crews regularly work throughout the Winter Garden community, including:
Rock-and-fabric drains that collect water below the surface and pull it away from foundations and low spots.
Solid-pipe yard drains that move standing surface water from point A to point B - the workhorse fix for most soggy yards.
Linear trench drains set flush into pool decks, patios, and driveways, catching runoff before it reaches the house.
Machine grading that reshapes a low or wrongly pitched lot so water physically runs away from the structure.
Solid PVC runs sized to the water load and pitched right, carrying water off your property for good.
Yes. We install French drains, yard drains, channel drains, grading, across Winter Garden, from historic downtown to the new northwestern communities. See our French drains service.
Winter Garden's clay soils hold water far longer than sandy ground, and newer lots were graded to construction standard, not drainage standard. A yard drain, regrade, or French drain fixes the cause - we diagnose on site.
Surface French drains and yard drains normally don't require a building permit with the City of Winter Garden. Work touching the foundation, or sewer-connected drainage may - we flag it.
Yes - it's a regular part of our service area (about 45 minutes out). We're out there often and schedule new visits within a few days.
We diagnose your property's water flow and provide a firm, itemized quote on site.
