Storm Drainage Solutions

The importance of proper storm drainage cannot be overstated. If you deal with dampness, musty smells or standing water in your basement after rain storm, the soil around your foundation may be saturated. Water pressure then pushes moisture through cracks and seams in your foundation.

A soggy or marshy backyard can be not only an eyesore, but also a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other pests, and even lead to structural damage to your home’s foundation.

At Sean Farrell Excavation, we understand that every property is unique, which is why we take a thorough and personalized approach to analyzing your drainage issue. Our team of experts will assess your property’s topography, soil type, and existing drainage system (if any) to determine the best course of action. As experts in excavation, sites and providing storm drainage solutions, we can help you identify the root cause of the water issue and develop a customized plan to fix it.

Some of the storm drainage solutions we offer include:

– Downspout roof leader system: We can install a downspout roof leader system that directs rainwater from your roof to a below-ground holding area, where it can infiltrate into the water table.

– Professional site grading: Our team will re-grade your property to ensure proper drainage and prevent water from pooling in low-lying areas.

– Foundation and footing drains: We can install foundation and footing drains to direct water away from your home’s foundation and prevent water damage.

– Catch basin installation: Catch basins are designed to capture stormwater runoff and allow it to slowly infiltrate into the soil.

– Drain inlet: A drain inlet is a type of catch basin that allows stormwater runoff to flow into it, then slowly infiltrate into the soil.

– Swales: Swales are shallow ditches that allow stormwater runoff to flow through them, slowing down the water flow and allowing it to infiltrate into the soil.

– French drains: French drains are perforated pipes buried in a trench filled with gravel, designed to direct water away from an area. They help protect against mold and damage to your basement.

– Subsurface drainage system: We can install a subsurface drainage system that uses perforated pipes or other materials to direct water away from an area.

– Retaining wall construction: If you have a slope or hill on your property, we can build a retaining wall to prevent erosion and stabilize the soil.

By implementing one or more of these solutions, we can help you achieve a dry and functional backyard that’s perfect for outdoor living, entertaining, or simply enjoying nature.
