Our Approach

Ever wonder how we turn your soggy yard into a dry paradise? Here's our secret recipe:

1. We Start with Your Story

First, we visit your property and listen. You know your yard best. Where does water pool? When did the problem start? We take notes and look around, getting the full picture.

2. We Create a Custom Plan

No two yards are the same, so why should the solutions be? We design a drainage plan just for you. It's like a roadmap for your water problems, showing exactly how we'll fix them.

3. We Use Special Tools

Remember that skinny trencher we mentioned? It's only 4-6 inches wide! This means we can install drains without tearing up your whole yard. Your grass will thank us later.

4. We Think Outside the Box

Got a sidewalk in the way? No problem! We use a cool boring tool to go right under it. No broken concrete, no extra costs. It's like magic, but it's just good planning.

5. We Look at the Big Picture

We don't just stick a drain in and call it a day. We look at how water moves across your whole property. Sometimes, changing the shape of your land a bit (we call it grading) can solve problems before they start.

6. We Get to Work

Once we have a plan, we take swift, careful action while ensuring you're always informed. We prioritize efficiency without compromising attention to detail.

7. We Clean Up Our Mess

When we're done, you might not even know we were there (except for your now-dry yard, of course). We make sure to leave your property looking neat and tidy.

8. We Do a Final Check

Before we shake hands and say goodbye, we make sure everything is working perfectly. Your satisfaction is our top priority.

FAQs About Yard Drainage in Columbus OH

  • How much does yard drainage installation typically cost in Columbus?

    The cost can vary widely depending on your yard's size and the problem's complexity. Small jobs might start around $1,000, while larger projects can go up to $10,000 or more. We always provide a free, detailed estimate before starting any work.

  • How long does a typical drainage project take to complete?

    Most residential projects take 1-3 days. Larger or more complex jobs might take up to a week. We'll give you a timeline estimate during our initial consultation.

  • Do I need any permits for drainage work on my property?

    Yes, some drainage work requires permits in Columbus. Don't worry, though – we handle all the paperwork for you, including 811 utility checks and HOA approvals if needed.

  • Can you work on my property during the winter months?

    Absolutely! While frozen ground can sometimes slow us down, we work year-round. In fact, winter can be a great time to install drainage systems to prepare for spring rains.

  • What happens if I ignore my drainage problems?

    Ignoring drainage issues can lead to serious problems. You might face foundation damage, basement flooding, landscape erosion, or even structural issues with your home. It's always cheaper to fix drainage problems early.

  • How often should I maintain my drainage system?

    We recommend checking your drainage system twice a year – in spring and fall. Look for any clogs or damage. Most systems need a professional cleaning every 2-3 years.

  • Will installing a drainage system damage my lawn or landscaping?

    We use special equipment that minimizes damage to your yard. Our narrow trencher and boring tools help us work with minimal disruption. We always clean up thoroughly after the job, leaving your yard looking great.

  • How do I know if I have a drainage problem?

    Look for signs like standing water after rain, soggy spots in your yard, water stains in your basement, or erosion around your foundation. If you see any of these, it's time to call us.

  • Will a drainage system completely eliminate standing water in my yard?

    While we can't promise to eliminate every drop, a well-designed drainage system should resolve most standing water issues. We aim to significantly improve your yard's overall drainage.

  • Can you integrate drainage solutions with my existing landscaping?

    Absolutely! We design our drainage solutions to work with your current landscaping. We can even suggest ways to use drainage features as part of your landscape design.

  • Are your drainage solutions environmentally friendly?

    Yes, we focus on sustainable solutions. Our drainage systems work with nature, not against it. We can even design systems that help conserve water for your garden.

  • Do you offer emergency drainage services?

    We sure do! If you're facing a flooding emergency, give us a call. We can usually be on-site quickly to help manage the situation and prevent further damage.

  • How long do your drainage solutions typically last?

    With proper maintenance, our drainage solutions can last 20 years or more. We offer warranties of 1-5 years on our pipe installations for extra peace of mind.

  • Can you help with drainage issues caused by neighboring properties?

    Yes, we can. We'll assess the situation and design a solution that addresses water coming from neighboring properties. If needed, we can also help you communicate with your neighbors about shared drainage concerns.
