Before & After Photos

A catch basin is a square drain set into the ground in a gravel bed, typically with a grate on top of it. Catch basins help prevent pooling water, erosion, and flooding, and they catch debris, helping prevent a clogged storm drain or sewer system. They are placed in low spots in a yard, below downspouts, or in areas where rainwater tends to collect due to poor drainage.

This Jacksonville home received a much-needed front entry improvement to prevent water pooling near the door. Our team installed a trench drain system along the brick walkway and door threshold to redirect water away from the entryway and foundation. The paver surface was carefully lifted, graded, and reset for proper drainage flow, restoring both functionality and curb appeal. Now, rainwater flows smoothly away from the home keeping the front porch area clean, dry, and protected from long-term moisture damage.

This Jacksonville homeowner was dealing with excess water pooling around the foundation after heavy rains, a common symptom of poor yard drainage. Standing water not only damages landscaping but can also put the foundation at risk if left untreated.

Our team installed a buried drainage system designed to redirect water safely away from the home. By trenching around the affected areas and installing high-quality piping with proper grading, we created a long-term solution to prevent water buildup and protect the property. Now, the homeowner can enjoy a dry, stable yard with confidence that their foundation is protected from water intrusion.

Water collecting near a home's foundation can create ongoing moisture problems and increase the risk of water intrusion. To help keep water away from the structure, our team installed an exterior drainage system designed to collect and redirect runoff away from the home.

These photos show the installation process as drainage piping was carefully routed beneath the existing paver patio. The system was connected to the downspout drainage line and equipped with an IceGuard fitting to provide an emergency escape route for water if the discharge line ever becomes blocked. Once the drainage components were installed, the pavers were reset to restore the appearance of the outdoor living space.

By moving water away from the foundation, this exterior waterproofing solution helps reduce moisture concerns and provides long-term protection for the home.

These photos highlight the symptoms of poor water management around the driveway, where pooling and runoff threatened the concrete and surrounding landscape. To solve this issue, a channel drain system was installed directly into the driveway. The drain connects to an underground discharge line, safely redirecting water away from the surface. This solution prevents standing water, protects the concrete from erosion and cracking, and ensures long-term drainage performance for the Green Cove Springs property.
