Houston Soil Doesn't Forgive Bad Drainage
Houston sits on dense, impervious clay (the local "hard pan"). Rainfall doesn't infiltrate — it pools, migrates laterally, and builds hydrostatic pressure against slab foundations. Combined with hurricane- season rainfall events of 6"+ in 24 hours, every property needs an engineered conveyance plan, not a hose-and-shovel guess.
Stormwater & Drainage Services for Houston Homes
Every system we install is designed around your property's grade, discharge constraints, and rainfall load — not a one-size-fits-all kit.
Foundation & Slab Hydrostatic Relief
Perimeter drainage that intercepts subsurface water before it reaches the slab edge — relieving the lateral pressure that causes Houston foundation movement.
Surface Water & Yard Pooling
Re-grading, swales, and catch basins that move standing water off compacted clay and out to a code-compliant discharge point.
Buried Downspout Conveyance
Roof runoff piped in solid SDR35 — never corrugated — to pop-up emitters or curb outfalls well clear of the foundation envelope.
Failing System Retrofit & Replacement
Replacement of failed corrugated pipe, undersized lines, and improperly graded outfalls with engineered systems that actually move water.
Discharge & Outfall Engineering
Pumped or gravity solutions for the hard cases — including discharge points that sit higher than the area being drained.
A Note On Corrugated Pipe
Corrugated (black-ribbed) drain pipe collapses, deforms, and silts in within a few seasons of Houston rainfall. We do not repair, clean, or maintain corrugated systems — those are band-aids that always fail again. We replace failed corrugated systems with engineered SDR35 PVC installations backed by our written warranty.
If a temporary fix is what you need, we're not the right fit — and we'll tell you that on the call. Our value is the assurance the system will actually work for decades.
What "Engineered" Actually Means
You're not paying us per linear foot of pipe. You're paying for the assurance the system will perform — through hurricane-season rainfall, year after year. Here's what goes into that.
Hydrostatic Pressure Relief
Houston's clay traps subsurface water against slab edges, generating lateral pressure that cracks foundations. A properly trenched perimeter drain intercepts that water before it reaches the slab — relieving the pressure mechanically.
SDR35 PVC, Not Corrugated
SDR35 is rigid, smooth-walled, and installed to a calculated grade so flow velocity stays high enough to self-scour. Corrugated pipe traps sediment in every ridge and collapses under load.
#57 Washed Aggregate + Geotextile
Perforated pipe is bedded in clean #57 stone and fully wrapped in non-woven geotextile. The fabric blocks soil fines from clogging the void space — the #1 reason cheap French drains fail.
Conveyance, Not Just Collection
Every system terminates at a positive, code-compliant outfall — gravity to daylight, a curb cut, or a pumped discharge where elevation forces it. Water that has nowhere to go is not drained.
Calculated Pipe Sizing
Pipe diameter and slope are sized to your roof area, contributing yard area, and Houston's design-storm rainfall intensity. Undersized pipe is the second most common reason systems flood during hurricanes.
Written Warranty
Almost no Houston competitor backs their drainage work in writing. We do — because we install systems that earn it. That assurance is the product.
How We Work
