Drainage & Waterproofing Services for Idaho Homes
Protect your foundation from Idaho’s unique mix of clay soils, river rock, and high water tables. We design and install permanent drainage solutions engineered specifically for the Treasure Valley’s conditions.
OUR CORE SERVICES
Every home is different — but water always finds a way. We build systems that stop it.
French Drain & Yard Drainage
Permanent solutions for standing water, pooling against the home, and soggy lawns. Idaho’s clay-heavy regions hold water for days. Our French drains are engineered with laser-graded slope, commercial-grade pipe, and geotextile fabric to guarantee long-term performance.

Crawl Space Drainage
Stop moisture, mold, odors, and structural damage at the source. Our system combines perimeter drainage, vapor barriers, sump pumps, and encapsulation to transform crawl spaces into dry, healthy environments.
CRAWL SPACE SOLUTIONS →
Foundation Waterproofing
Shield your foundation from water pressure, seepage, and soil expansion. We install exterior waterproofing membranes, drainage channels, and crack injection repairs designed to stop leaks and prevent costly structural movement.
FOUNDATION WATERPROOFING →
Basement Waterproofing
A dry basement starts outside your home. We design full perimeter drainage systems that capture groundwater before it enters your basement. Includes sump basin installation, vapor barriers, and optional interior channels.
BASEMENT SOLUTIONS →
Sump Pump Installation
Your home’s first line of defense against groundwater. We install high-lift, high-flow pumps with optional battery backup systems to keep your home protected even during outages.
SUMP PUMP SERVICES →
Surface Water Control
Fix runoff issues before they become structural. We install channel drains for driveways and patios, and regrade soil away from foundations so your property sheds water safely.
SURFACE DRAINAGE OPTIONS →
Erosion Control & Soil Stabilization
Protect your landscaping and foundation from shifting Idaho soil. Clay contraction, sprinkler runoff, and hillside properties can erode soil fast. We stabilize at-risk areas with drainage berms, rock trenches, swales, and soil reinforcement.

HOW IT WORKS
Every Idaho home has a different water problem — clay soil, slope issues, sprinkler run-off, or high groundwater. Our process is engineered to diagnose the exact cause and install a long-term drainage solution that protects your foundation through every season.

Site Inspection
& Soil Analysis
We inspect slope, soil composition, water entry points, and your property’s drainage path. Idaho clay behaves differently than river rock, so the system must match the soil zone.
Custom
Drainage Plan
You get a system designed for your home’s soil, grade, and budget — French drain, downspout extension, channel drain, sump system, or a hybrid setup. No generic installs.
Expert
Installation
Licensed installers use laser grading, commercial-grade pipe, and proper gravel depth to guarantee long-term flow. Most jobs are completed with minimal disruption to your yard.
Final
“Stress Test”
Before we leave, we flood-test your system to confirm water moves exactly where it should. You see the results before we sign off.

SERVICE QUESTIONS
How deep do you dig for French drains?
We typically trench 12–18 inches deep, depending on your yard’s grade, soil type, and frost line. This depth ensures water is captured below the surface while protecting the system long-term.
What if my yard is perfectly flat?
Flat yards are exactly why some drainage issues happen. We create a precise 1% engineered slope inside the trench so water moves downhill—even if the yard looks level.
Do you haul away all the dirt?
Yes. All heavy clay soil and excavation debris are removed from your property. We backfill the trench with clean washed rock to maximize drainage and prevent future settling.
How long does a typical drainage install take?
Most French drain or yard drainage systems are completed in 1–2 days, depending on yard size, soil conditions, and access. Larger or heavily compacted clay projects may take an additional day.
Will a drainage system tear up my lawn?
We keep disruption minimal. Trenching is narrow and precise, and we clean and rake the work area when finished. Your yard will settle naturally in the following weeks as the rock compacts.
