NEGATIVE GRADE & ICE
When water flows toward your house, you lose.
Many Treasure Valley homes have settled over the years, creating "Negative Grade"—where the soil slopes toward the foundation instead of away. This dumps roof runoff directly into your crawl space or basement.
​
On driveways and patios, pooling water is a winter nightmare. The freeze/thaw cycle expands trapped water, cracking your expensive concrete and creating dangerous ice slicks for your family.
Don't Wait:
Even a small damp spot on the carpet is a sign that water pressure is building under your slab.
SURFACE WATER SOLUTIONS
We intercept water at the surface and move it where it belongs: away from your home.
1
Channel Drains
Also known as Trench Drains. We cut a strip in your driveway or patio, install a grated drain, and pipe the water away. Perfect for garages at the bottom of a slope.
2
Catch Basins
Strategically placed 9x9 or 12x12 basins in low spots of your lawn or planter beds to act as intake points for rapid water removal.
3
Downspout Piping
Splash blocks aren't enough. We hard-pipe your downspouts underground into rigid PVC, discharging water 10-20 feet away from the foundation.
4
Corrective Grading
We bring in clay-heavy fill dirt (which sheds water) to build up the slope around your foundation, ensuring positive drainage.
SURFACE DRAINAGE FAQS
Can you install a drain in existing concrete?
Yes. We use a concrete saw to cut a precise channel into your existing driveway or patio. We install the channel drain and patch it with new concrete for a seamless finish.
How much slope do I need away from my house?
Ideally, the ground should drop 6 inches within the first 10 feet of your foundation (a 5% slope). If your yard is flat or slopes toward the house, regrading is critical.
Can channel drains handle heavy cars?
Yes. We install commercial-grade NDS Pro Series channel drains that are rated for vehicular traffic, so you can drive over them without worry.
