The Grounds Guys of Cedar Creek Lake Drainage Solutions

Cedar Creek Lakes can experience significant rainfall, particularly in late spring and late fall, so as a homeowner, you need to ensure sufficient yard drainage. Some of the most notable benefits include:

• Protecting your home: By preventing the build-up of standing water, yard drainage solutions will protect the integrity of the ground around your home, your home’s foundations, and your basement or crawl space.
• Eliminating soil erosion: Yard drainage prevents water runoff, one of the leading causes of soil erosion. Erosion can damage the roots of your plants and turf and even wash beds away completely.
• Reducing landscape maintenance: By implementing yard drainage solutions, you save time and money on yard maintenance because you won't have to keep fixing problems caused by runoff or standing water.
• Enjoying a healthy and beautiful landscape: Maintaining proper yard drainage means that your landscape and the plants within it will flourish so that you, your family, and your friends can enjoy spending time outdoors.

Types of Drainage Solutions

An accumulation of water can lead to serious problems in your home. Fortunately, The Grounds Guys can examine your drainage problem and provide a solution to help prevent groundwater problems from escalating. We can install drainage systems and extensions and combine solutions to protect your landscape and home from runoff and standing water. The Grounds Guys of Cedar Creek Lake provide the following yard drainage solutions:

• Installation of downspout extensions and attachments: Severe drainage problems can occur when rainwater cannot drain away from your house. We can fix this by installing downspout attachments or extensions to move the water further away, preventing potential water from accumulating around your foundation.
• Replacement or Repair Sump Pump Pipes: A sump pump removes water from your basement to the outside of your home. If the pump is damaged, it will not guide the water out effectively, which may cause standing water to build up in your basement. Our specialists can repair or, if necessary, replace your sump pump pipes entirely.
• Installation of a Landscape Drainage System: Drainage issues can be caused by runoff from slopes in your landscape or from water that flows in from an adjacent property. We can fix these problems by installing a landscape drainage system designed to collect and pipe the excess water from your or your neighbor’s property before it causes any damage.
• Regarding your landscape: Over time, landscape beds and lawns settle, leading to low spots and puddles in your yard. We can add topsoil and regrade the low areas in your landscape to solve this problem.
• Installation of French drains, yard drains, or dry creek beds: We can dig a French drain or yard drain or design and install a dry creek bed on your property to improve drainage. French and yard drains comprise perforated pipes that redirect surface water and groundwater away from a specific area to a place where it will disperse without causing damage. A dry creek bed is a great drainage solution and adds an attractive focal point to your landscape!
