Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Greensboro, NC

Effective Yard Drainage in greensboro and Winston-Salem, NC

When a rainy day turns your yard into a soggy swamp, it is a sign you likely have a serious drainage problem. If you find yourself with standing water that just won’t go away after a rainstorm, our team at Affordable Waterproofing can help you drain the unwanted swamp. Our yard drainage contractors specialize in developing personalized and efficient yard drainage systems that keep your property dry and well-protected against excess water and its damaging effects. We can tackle the challenges of landscape drainage, foundation waterproofing, and everything in between. The longer standing water sits on your lawn, the more time it has to find its way into your home, which is why we fight to eliminate pooling water, erosion issues and other water-related problems as soon as possible.

Why You Need An Effective Drainage System

In many cases, landscapers and contractors will use trenching, backhoes, excavators, shovels and PVC or corrugated pipes to install underground drainage systems to carry water away from foundations. When this does not happen, surface water drainage issues like flooding, ponding, and erosion can be mitigated by installing drainage pipes, French drains, catch basins, sump pumps, swales and other drainage systems. 

A well-crafted drainage system is vital to secure the health and stability of your yard. With proper drainage, you can combat excess moisture and stop it from causing considerable damage to your landscape, basement, foundation, and eroding soil. We understand the delicate water cycle of rainfall, runoff and groundwater, and that inadequate drainage can make even the smallest slope into a deep water accumulation zone. If your yard sounds like this, our experts can help you design and implement a custom-tailored drainage solution to ensure the water flows away from your home.

One of the most popular drainage systems we offer for drainage problems is the French drain system. This proven drainage system involves digging a shallow trench and installing a perforated pipe in it, which is surrounded by gravel. This way, the underground pipe can collect the pooling water and direct it away from your property and avoid any flooding and water seepage. We can position your French drainage installation to intercept surface water and rainwater runoff before it finds its way into your home.
