Why Drainage Matters
Our Drainage Services
At Sousa Landscaping and Sitework LLC, we offer a full suite of drainage solutions designed for efficiency and durability. Our services include:
- French Drains A French drain is a proven method to redirect water away from problem areas. We install French drains using perforated piping wrapped in filter fabric and surrounded by gravel. This system collects excess water and channels it away from foundations or soggy areas, keeping your yard and basement dry.
- Catch Basins and Stormwater Management Catch basins are essential for collecting surface water and preventing runoff from pooling in low spots. Ideal for driveways, parking lots, and lawns, catch basins are connected to underground piping systems that safely direct water to municipal storm drains or appropriate discharge areas.
- Dry Wells Dry wells are underground structures that collect and slowly disperse excess water back into the ground. They are especially useful for managing roof runoff and overflow from other drainage systems, providing a sustainable solution for stormwater control.
- Downspout Drainage Extensions We redirect roof water safely away from your home or building by installing underground downspout extensions. This prevents foundation saturation and helps maintain the integrity of your structure over time.
- Grading and Sloping for Proper Runoff In many cases, the solution starts with the land itself. We assess your yard or site for improper grading and re-contour the terrain to ensure water flows naturally away from structures and into proper drainage zones.
- Curtain Drains Curtain drains are installed uphill of water-prone areas to intercept water before it reaches them. They’re ideal for sloped properties, sports fields, and anywhere water runoff is a persistent problem.
- Sump Pump Connections For properties with basements or crawl spaces, we connect sump pump discharge lines to underground drainage systems to avoid reintroducing water into the landscape or near the foundation.
Every property is different. That’s why we begin every drainage project with a thorough site inspection. We evaluate soil composition, slope, water sources, and existing drainage patterns before designing a system that solves the issue for good.
Whether it’s a single drain or a complete landscape regrade, we ensure that the finished system is efficient, discreet, and built to last.
