Drainage Solutions...

Old Catch Basin w/poor drainage

Fall is certainly upon us here in the Pacific Northwest.  

A lot of times, people will forget their drainage problems over the summer because they are having fun and the nice weather is hiding the problem... for the moment.  But as the Fall rains arrive, it rears it's ugly head.

Not addressing drainage problems can cause serious problems over time.  A minor trickle of runoff over time can gradually erode a hill side away.   A pool of water at the bottom of a downspout may be pooling under your house eventually compromising your houses foundation and create mold problems.

Covering new drainage with wash rock

Most drainage issues can be solved by installing drainage pipes in "problem areas,"  connecting to these existing drains.  However, if there are no existing drains or your in a low spot you may have to pump the water from one area to another (like a drainage ditch a french drain or a sump pump ).

Replacing Sod to look like new!

The pictures in this blog are from a park in Federal Way/Tacoma area.    Here we are re-connecting existing drainage and catch basins that have become clogged over time.    Cleaning these areas out and adding additional drainage should solve their issue.
