Drainage contractor · Wayne County, NY
Drainage Solutions
Water that sits in a yard, runs toward a foundation, or washes out a driveway doesn't fix itself. We find where the water comes from and where it can go, then fix it with grading, drains and pipe, using the simplest approach that will actually work.

Scope · Drainage Solutions
Drainage fixes we install
Regrading
Reshaping the ground so it slopes away from buildings and toward a place water can leave the property.
French drains
Perforated pipe in a stone-filled trench that collects groundwater and carries it away.
Swales and ditches
Shallow channels that move surface water around a building or across a property.
Culverts
Pipe that carries water under driveways, lanes and access roads.
Downspout lines
Buried pipe that takes roof water away from the foundation instead of dumping it beside the house.
Drainage for new construction
Planning water flow while the site is being graded, when it's easiest to get right.
Approach
Start with where the water goes
Every drainage fix needs an outlet: a ditch, a lower part of the property, a storm drain where it's allowed, or ground where water can soak in. Without one, a drain just moves the puddle.
We look at the slope of the whole property, where the downspouts discharge, what the soil is like, and when the problem shows up, whether that's during heavy rain, snowmelt, or all spring. That tells us whether it's a surface water problem, a groundwater problem, or both, and that decides the fix. On new building sites, drainage is easiest to get right during site preparation, before anything is built.
FAQ · Drainage Solutions
Common questions
Have a question that isn't here? Call 585-649-2058 or send a request.
What's causing the water in my yard?
Usually one of a few things: ground that slopes toward the problem area, downspouts discharging too close to the house, soil that drains slowly, or groundwater close to the surface. Seeing the site, ideally after rain, is the best way to tell.
Is a French drain the right fix?
Sometimes. French drains work well for groundwater and constantly soggy areas, but if the issue is surface runoff, regrading or a swale may work better and cost less. We'll recommend what fits the problem.
Can you help with water getting into my basement?
We handle the outside: grading that slopes toward the house, downspouts dumping water at the foundation, and drains to carry water away. Interior waterproofing is a different trade, and we'll tell you if that's what you need.
Where will the water go?
It needs somewhere it can leave your property without creating a problem for a neighbor, like a ditch, a low area, or a storm drain where permitted. Finding a good outlet is part of the site visit.
When is the best time to fix drainage?
Any time the ground is workable. It helps to see the problem while it's happening, so if you can, take photos during a heavy rain and include them with your estimate request.
