Drainage correction for flat coastal lots

Northeast Florida sits on a high water table and takes intense, short-duration rain. On a flat lot with a compacted layer under the sod, water has nowhere to go. It stands, it kills roots, and it moves toward the house.

What is included

Standing water is a symptom. We trace it to the cause — usually grade, compaction, or a roof discharging into a low corner — before we cut a trench. Installing a drain into the wrong low point relocates the problem instead of solving it.

  • Site assessment: where water enters, where it pools, where it needs to exit
  • French drain and channel drain installation
  • Catch basin and downspout tie-in
  • Regrading and swale correction to move water away from foundations
  • Turf recovery in previously saturated zones
  • Post-storm verification that the system carried the load
