Outdoor Drainage Systems: Expert Solutions by Handyman David

Dedicated to Quality Service from the Start

At Handyman David, we specialize in designing and installing outdoor drainage systems that effectively manage water flow, prevent flooding, and protect both residential and commercial properties from water damage. Our team is highly skilled, professional, and committed to providing long-lasting solutions tailored to each property’s unique needs.

How Outdoor Drainage Systems Work

Outdoor drainage systems are designed to redirect excess water away from your property, ensuring that your yard, foundation, and structures remain dry and undamaged. These systems work by collecting and channeling water through a combination of grates, pipes, trenches, and pumps, leading it to a designated discharge area, such as a storm drain, dry well, or a lower part of the property where it can safely disperse.

Key Drainage Solutions We Provide

1. French Drains

• How It Works: A trench filled with gravel and a perforated pipe that collects and redirects groundwater away from the problem area.

• Best For: Preventing yard flooding, soggy lawns, and water intrusion in basements.

• Installation by Handyman David:

• We excavate a trench at the lowest point where water collects.

• Install a high-quality perforated pipe wrapped in filter fabric to prevent clogs.

• Fill the trench with gravel for proper water flow and stability.

• Cover the drain with soil or decorative stone for an aesthetic finish.

2. Yard Drains (Catch Basin Drains)

• How It Works: A grated basin collects surface water and directs it through underground pipes to a safe discharge point.

• Best For: Areas with heavy rainwater runoff, low spots in the yard, or pooling water near foundations.

• Our Process:

• We install a catch basin in the problem area.

• Connect it to a network of underground pipes.

• Ensure a proper downward slope for efficient water redirection.

3. Curtain Drains

5. Channel Drains
