Water Mitigation

PROFESSIONAL WATER SOLUTIONS

Water mitigation and drainage are about controlling how water moves across and through a property. Proper drainage helps collect, redirect, and manage water, while water mitigation focuses on reducing the problems caused by excess water, runoff, pooling, and erosion. Understanding where water comes from, where it naturally wants to go, and how it moves across your property is the first step toward finding the right drainage solution.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Have questions about your excavation project? Here are answers to some of the questions we hear most often.

Seeing standing water is one of the most obvious signs, but it isn't the only one. Soggy areas of your yard, erosion, water flowing toward a building, saturated soil, basement or foundation moisture, and areas that remain wet long after rainfall can all indicate that water isn't being properly managed on your property.

In many cases, yes. The right solution is determining why the water is collecting in the first place. Grading, drainage systems, catch basins, swales, or other water-management solutions may be used to collect and redirect water. The goal isn't simply to move the water somewhere else, but to give it a proper path away from the problem area.

Proper grading and drainage can help direct water away from a foundation and reduce the amount of water collecting around a structure. Depending on the property and the source of the water, solutions may include regrading, drainage systems (French drain), collection points, or other excavation-based improvements.

Water is one of the most powerful forces in nature and naturally follows the path of least resistance. If the existing grading, soil conditions, drainage system, or surrounding terrain directs water toward a low area, the same problem will likely return every time it rains. Correcting the underlying conditions rather than simply removing the water after the fact will provide a more effective long-term solution.

Yes. Sloped properties can present unique drainage challenges because water can gain speed and concentrate as it moves downhill. Depending on the terrain, solutions may include terracing, grading, drainage channels, collection systems, culverts, erosion control, or other methods designed to slow, collect, and redirect water. A popular aesthetic solution is properly and effectively using retaining walls.
