Effective drainage is crucial for maintaining the health and safety of your property, particularly in Michigan where unpredictable weather—from heavy rains to snowmelt—can lead to significant water issues. A well-designed drainage system directs excess water away from your home, preventing problems like basement flooding, erosion, and foundation damage. Investing in reliable drainage not only protects your home but also helps preserve your landscaping, ensuring long-term property value and reducing the risk of moisture-related issues.
Drainage Benefits
Prevent Soil Erosion
Proper drainage prevents water accumulation, reducing soil erosion by directing runoff away from vulnerable areas and preserving landscape stability.
Protect Your Foundation
Effective drainage directs water away from your home, preventing soil erosion, foundation cracks, and moisture buildup that can lead to structural damage.
Reduce Pests and Diseases
Good drainage reduces standing water, minimizing breeding grounds for pests like mosquitoes and preventing mold, mildew, and other moisture-related diseases.
Prevent Puddling or Wet Areas
Puddles create muddy messes, damage lawns, attract pests, and pose slip hazards, making outdoor spaces less safe and enjoyable.
Drainage Solutions
Catch Basins and Grates
Catch basins are underground structures designed to collect water and debris from surface runoff, typically located at low points in streets, parking lots, or landscaped areas. They help prevent blockages in your drainage system by trapping leaves, dirt, sediment, and other debris before the water flows into storm drains or pipes. By capturing these materials, catch basins reduce the risk of flooding and help maintain the efficiency of the overall drainage system.
Drainage Piping and Extensions
Drainage piping around a home is a system of underground or surface pipes designed to collect and redirect rainwater or groundwater away from the foundation.
Downspout Hook-ups
A downspout hook-up is a connection that channels rainwater from a roof downspout into a drainage system, such as a pipe extension, pop-up emitter, storm sewer, or dry well. It helps protect the home by directing water away from the foundation
Pop-up Emitters
Pop-up emitters are an efficient way to release water away from your home. They connect to your downspouts and allow water to flow out through a pop-up mechanism that opens when water pressure builds up. This prevents water from pooling around your foundation, reducing the risk of damage.
Dry Well
A dry well is an underground structure designed to collect stormwater runoff and gradually disperse it into the surrounding soil. It provides a dedicated space for excess water to slowly percolate into the ground, reducing surface flooding and helping to manage runoff during heavy rains. Dry wells are particularly useful in areas with poor natural drainage, such as regions with compacted or heavy clay soils, where water tends to accumulate rather than soak in.
Foundation Drainage
Foundation drainage systems are crucial for preventing water from seeping into your basement or crawl space. These systems typically involve installing a network of pipes around your foundation to channel water away from your home. Proper foundation drainage can prevent structural damage and mold growth.
French / Trench Drains
French drains are versatile drainage systems that can be used to manage water in various areas of your property. They consist of a trench filled with gravel and a perforated pipe that collects and redirects water. French drains are effective for preventing water buildup in low-lying areas and can also be used to address wet basements.
Channel Drains
Channel drains and trench drains are surface drainage solutions designed to collect and redirect water from paved areas like driveways and patios. They consist of a channel with a removable grate on top, which captures water and directs it to another area.
