Extended Discharge Line in Orland Park, IL

Before

This Orland Park homeowner was having issues with moisture building up outside his home. This was a result of the discharge lines depositing water too close to the home. He gave us a call to see if we had a solution for his problem.

We solved his water issues by extending his discharge line! This process allows water to be removed much farther from the home than it was previously. We added a green LawnScape Outlet to the end of the discharge line. The LawnScape prevents the discharge line from being a tripping hazard and lays flat with the yard to make for easy mowing.
