Our Services:Foundation Drainage Solutions
Water pooling at your slab edge swells the clay and moves your foundation. A drainage system carries it away and keeps the soil stable.
Drainage before piers, when that is what you need.
If water is the problem, we will say so. Drainage often costs less than piers and can prevent repairs later.
Signs you need foundation drainage
- ★Water standing against the slab after rain
- ★Downspouts that empty at the foundation
- ★Soil washing away at the slab edge
What causes drainage problems in Spring, TX
Flat lots
Most Spring lots are nearly flat, so water has nowhere to go.
Slow-draining clay
Clay soil absorbs water slowly, so it pools at the surface.
Creek-side neighborhoods
Spring Creek Oaks and Cypresswood, near the creeks, see the most ponding after heavy storms.
Downspouts
Gutters that empty right at the slab put roof water against the foundation.
Settled grading
Yards that once sloped away from the house settle flat over time.
Flower beds
Raised beds against the slab trap water at the foundation.

- STEP 05Test
The system is flow-tested and the yard restored.
Drainage costs
Drainage cost depends on your lot size and how far water has to be carried.
FAQs
Will drainage correct an existing slab deflection?
No. It prevents further moisture-driven movement. Existing settlement requires piering.
French drain or surface drain?
Surface drains handle water on top of the ground. French drains handle water in the soil. Many lots need both.
Where does the water go?
Usually to the street curb or another approved outlet away from the house.
Should I water my foundation in a drought?
Steady, even moisture at the slab edge can help in long droughts. We can explain how.
