Regulations

Good to know before you ask

Good drainage starts with grading that slopes away from the house and downspouts that discharge well away from the foundation. Drains then need a legal outlet: you generally cannot send concentrated water onto a neighbor's property.

Call 811 before any digging so buried utilities are marked. We do not perform the work ourselves and do not show prices.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a French drain?

A trench with gravel and a perforated pipe that collects groundwater or surface water and carries it to an outlet.

Can I drain water onto my neighbor's lot?

Generally not as concentrated flow. Local rules and drainage easements apply; a contractor designs a legal outlet.

Do I need to call 811?

Yes, before any digging, so that buried utility lines are marked for free.
