Signs That You Need A Drainage & Excavation Company

● Standing water near home or in middle of property
● Soft & squishy soils after 24 hours of no precipitation
● Water draining towards or near homes foundation
● Foundation leaks
● Mower tire ruts: When the yard is always soggy, but you still have to mow, it’s ultimately going to leave ruts.
● Muddy tracks: Whether it’s the dog or the kids, muddy prints keep making it onto your hardscaping, and even worse, into your home.
● Plant bed erosion: Every time there’s a heavy rain, the plant beds get completely washed out.
● Hardscaping floods: Water that isn’t properly directed may be washing over your walkways or patio and leaving a muddy mess that has to be power washed after every storm.
● Pooling water: Improper patio installation and no drainage solution below may lead to a patio that forms a little “pond” with each rainstorm. This can happen in the yard, too. Any stagnant water like this is an invitation for mosquito breeding.
● An unusable yard: When your yard turns into a swamp, it may become completely useless to your family and friends.
● Water in the basement: Every homeowners’ nightmare is that improper yard drainage will ultimately lead to water ending up in the basement. Unfortunately, we’ve seen it happen.

Excavation Drainage Solutions

If you have experienced any of these problems and would like to figure out a solution, Bright Green Landscapes is here to help. Fortunately, our excavating company has several ways to address these yard drainage issues.

Excavating & Land Grading

Land grading is a great way to divert water away from your home. Excavating soils and creating the proper slope to divert surface water away from your home is crucial to protect your investment. People are often surprised to learn that even a small grading change can make a world of difference. Excavating and regrading areas can generally solve most of our customers’ issues. Feel free to contact our excavation company for more details.

Underground Downspout Installation

Clogged gutters and downspouts are the number one leading cause of basement flooding. We are amazed by how many homes we see with downspouts draining right along the foundation. Installing underground downspout drains is a great insurance policy against basement flooding. We recommend excavating soil to the proper depth and installing drains at least 10 feet away from home with the proper pitch to prevent hydrostatic pressure build up along foundation walls. We can either install corrugated drain tile or PVC drain pipe. Installation of underground downspouts also prevents flooding of plant root systems and washing away mulch or decorative stone in your landscape beds. We can even install underground downspout drains for those tough areas along sidewalks of paver patio areas.

French Drain Installation

Excavation and installation of french drains are primarily used to prevent ground and surface water from damaging building foundations. It can also be used to get rid of standing water in low areas of lawn or in ditches. French drains can also be installed for downspouts, sump pumps and retaining walls. Our french drain installations are installed with either 4” perforated corrugated drain tile or 4” perforated PVC. The corrugated drain tile is a cheaper alternative but is not as durable as PVC piping. All drains are sloped away from the home to ensure water stays away from your foundation. Proper installation of a french drain includes excavating and removal of excess soil, installing proper drain fabric, installing clean stone and perforated pipe. Our excavation company takes pride in performing high quality workmanship and making sure our customers are satisfied.

Underground Sump Pump Drain Installation

Installing underground sump pump drains is a great way to divert the water to a specific location on your property to minimize flooding around your home. We recommend this service for anyone experiencing frequent sump pump usage or for someone that wants a cleaner look and not have to worry about an extension hose on the discharge pipe. With our professional excavation services we will properly slope all drains away from home to prevent any flooding issues. Our excavation company can even work with your existing plumber if they do not have the proper equipment to perform this service for you.
