Drainage FAQ
How do I know if I have a drainage problem?
Standing water after rain, erosion around foundations, soggy or unusable areas, water stains on building perimeters, or flooding in parking areas are all signs. We'll assess your property and identify the root cause.
Do you handle permits for drainage work?
Yes. We coordinate with your municipality on any required permits for drainage modifications, grading, or stormwater system work.
How long does a drainage project take?
Most commercial drainage corrections take 1-3 weeks depending on scope. We'll provide a detailed timeline in your proposal.
Can you maintain existing drainage systems?
Yes. We service catch basins, clean drainage lines, maintain retention ponds, and repair existing systems.
