Why Poor Drainage Costs You Money
Water always finds the path of least resistance. If that path runs toward your foundation, you are looking at expensive repairs. Standing water kills grass and plants. It creates mud that tracks into your house. And it breeds mosquitoes that ruin outdoor time. Poor drainage turns your yard into a problem instead of an asset.
Erosion makes things worse. Heavy rain washes away topsoil, leaving bare spots and gullies. Slopes develop ruts that get deeper every storm. Mulch and gravel wash into the street. And valuable landscaping gets damaged or destroyed. The longer you wait, the more expensive the fix becomes.
Professional drainage solutions solve these problems permanently. We redirect water away from vulnerable areas. We stabilize slopes to prevent erosion. And we install systems that handle heavy rain without creating new issues. Whether you need a simple solution or a comprehensive drainage plan, our Herriman team has the expertise to protect your property.
Our Drainage and Erosion Control Solutions
Every drainage problem is different. We assess your property to identify where water comes from, where it goes, and what damage it causes along the way. Then we design a solution that addresses your specific issues.
What We Install
- French drains to intercept and redirect underground water flow
- Surface drains to collect water from low spots and problem areas
- Channel drains for driveways, patios, and hardscape edges
- Dry creek beds that handle runoff while adding visual interest
- Catch basins to collect water from multiple drainage points
- Downspout extensions to move roof water away from foundations
- Retaining walls to stabilize slopes and prevent erosion
- Grading and resloping to redirect water naturally
We install systems that work with your existing landscape rather than fighting against it. Materials are chosen for durability and performance in Utah's climate. And we make sure water ends up in appropriate locations like storm drains, dry wells, or natural drainage areas. Many clients combine drainage work with landscape upgrades for a complete property transformation.
How We Fix Drainage Problems
Fixing drainage starts with understanding the problem. We visit your property during or after rain when issues are most visible. We look at slopes, soil type, and where water accumulates. We check for signs of erosion, foundation damage, or landscape stress. And we identify any contributing factors like compacted soil, poor grading, or blocked drainage paths.
Then we develop a solution. Sometimes a simple fix like extending downspouts or regrading a low spot solves the problem. Other times you need a comprehensive system with underground drains, catch basins, and discharge points. We explain what needs to happen and why so you understand the plan before we start digging.
Installation involves excavation, material placement, and careful grading to ensure water flows correctly. We dig trenches for underground pipes, install drain components, and backfill with appropriate materials. We test the system to confirm water flows as designed. And we restore your landscape with fresh sod, mulch, or plantings.
The result is a yard that handles rain without creating mud, standing water, or erosion. Your foundation stays dry. Your landscape stays healthy. And you stop worrying every time the forecast calls for rain. If you also need irrigation system repairs, we can coordinate both projects to minimize disruption to your property.
