Water Problems?


We Can Help!


Before you spend 1000's of dollars, find the cause of the water problem and correct it. We specialize in solving foundation water problems.

The Foundation is subject to tremendous stress when there is water seeping in or erosion caused by downspouts or water runoff. Water causes most major foundation and basement problems. Getting rid of the water is the answer.

DOWNSPOUT DRAIN TILES are the single most important part of your rainwater drainage system. Keep these drains in good working order. If you do not have these underground pipes, have them installed. These drains help keep foundations dry, basements dry and help stop water problems before they occur and will ususally solve most foundation problems.

Adding underground drain tiles to your home will move water away from your foundation and basement. This is not simply a piece of pipe that runs out on the yard. That is nothing but an eye sore. The water from these extensions simply travels back underground to the foundation. Do it right! Install Underground Drain Tiles from the downspouts to the street. That's why the city installed Storm Drains in the curb and street.

Gutters and Downspouts are must to help collect the water run-off from your roof. Keep them clean and free of debris.

The Sump Pump is needed to collect the water under your foundation and basement floor. The water is pumped up and out of the area to the DOWNSPOUT DRAIN TILE that leads from the downspout underground to the street or strom drain.

A FRENCH DRAIN (Gravel and perforated pipe) should not be used to discharge water. This system is best used to collect water from a low spot inthe yard.

We Repair foundations. Replace concrete block, brace walls, install sump pumps and drains. We also replace wood damaged by termites and water.

Our highly trained service technicians, can help you with any foundation or basement repair. Call us for a free estimate.

Causes and Solutions to Foundation Problems



Learn How Underground Drain Tiles Solve Water Problems


-------------------------------------------------






Source ProblemSolution
RainFall Roof run-off. Water falling from roof can lead to foundation problemsAdd gutters to roof. Gutters collect water and channel it to the downspouts. Grade Yard away from house. Maintain slope down away from downspouts.
Gutters & Downspouts Concetrated abundance of water directed to one one spot.CLEAN GUTTERS - Keep your gutters clean. Ad Gutter Screens to keep maintenance to a minimum.
Install Underground Drain Tiles from Downpouts to Street or Strom Drain. Use 4" Pipe with a downspout adaptor. Trench the new drain underground and seal all fittings.
Ponding Water Low spots in yard allow water to move toward foundation.Install interceptor in low spot. A catch basin in conjuntion with gravel perforated pipe (french drain) can catch and drain the water from the low spot and the yard.

This system of catch basins, gravel and perfotated pipe works well for low spots in the yard. The install of this system is labor intense, but the results are very good.
Blocked or Broken Downpout Discharge Line Underground drain is blockedMaintain the underground drains, both from downspouts and sump pump discharge. Clean these drains with each gutter cleaning.

A blocked or broken drain tile is the leading cause of foundation problems.
