Drainage Solutions

A French drain is a ditch located on a person’s property, usually in the yard, that prevents storm water from collecting near a house. This can prevent foundation issues and other water problems.

Catch basins are the primary part of many landscape drainage systems. A catch basin has a grate on top and a drainage pipe that slopes away from the basin. This box is set into the ground at a low point on the property. Catch basins help maintain proper drainage and catch debris, which helps prevent pipes downstream from becoming clogged. Water and solids enter the box through the grate. Solids settle to the bottom while water drains out of the pipe.
