Standing water after heavy rain isn’t just a lawn problem in North Texas — it’s often a foundation risk. In Arlington and the Mid-Cities, clay soils, flat lots, and intense storms cause water to pool, back up, and push toward homes.
We diagnose why water isn’t moving and design drainage solutions that protect both your yard and your foundation.
Water collecting near slab or pier-and-beam foundations
Soil erosion or voids forming along the foundation edge
Cracks caused by expanding and shrinking clay soils
Improper runoff from neighboring properties or streets
Standing water that lasts days after rain
Soggy turf, dead grass, or mud zones
Overflowing or clogged yard drains
Downspouts dumping water too close to the home
If water is visible after the rain stops, the drainage system isn’t working.
Arlington and the Mid-Cities sit on expansive clay soils. During heavy rain:
Water absorbs slowly
Soil expands and redirects flow
Flat grades trap runoff
Older drain systems clog or collapse
Quick fixes don’t last. Proper drainage requires grading, collection, and controlled discharge.
We don’t guess — we trace the water.
Every evaluation includes:
Site grading and flow analysis
Identification of source vs symptom
Foundation exposure risk review
Existing drain inspection (French drains, yard drains, downspouts)
Clear repair and prevention options
You’ll know what’s wrong, why it’s happening, and how to fix it before any work begins.
Solutions are tailored to your lot, soil, and structure — not one-size-fits-all.
French drains (new or replacement)
Area & yard drains
Downspout collection systems
Foundation perimeter drainage
Surface regrading & swales
Drain clean-outs and repairs
All systems are designed for North Texas rainfall intensity, not national averages.

Drainage failures often show up:
During active storms
Within 24–72 hours after heavy rain
That’s when foundation damage begins.
Local drainage specialists — not plumbers
Focused on water movement and soil behavior
Clear explanations, no pressure
Repairs designed to last through future storms
We fix drainage problems at the source, not just where water shows up.
If you’re dealing with flooding, standing water, or foundation concerns, don’t wait for the next storm to make it worse.
