We diagnose the cause, then design the right fix - perforated trench drains, downspout extensions, catch basins, or sump-and-pump when gravity won’t cooperate.

Drainage Design & Installation Services for Conway Homes

We focus on long-lasting yard drainage systems that manage stormwater, protect foundations, and preserve landscaping. Every project includes a laser-level slope check and code-compliant discharge planning.

French Drain Installation

Standing water and muddy turf around patios, side yards, or low spots signal poor infiltration. We install fabric-wrapped, washed-stone trenches with perforated SDR-35 or corrugated ADS (4") at a 1–2% slope to a legal outfall. Materials include #57 washed stone (3/4 inch) and non-woven geotextile fabric sized for Central Florida sugar sand. Cleanouts at direction changes simplify future maintenance. Licensed, insured, and trained with NDS best practices, we build durable systems that keep your yard usable after heavy rain. Learn more about our French Drain Installation services.

Yard Drainage Solutions

When water sheets across lawns or collects near driveways, we combine grading, swales, and surface inlets for reliable relief. Our crew uses a laser level, sod cutter, and plate compactor to reshape flow paths without harming curb appeal. Options include catch basins, pop-up emitters, and dry well overflows to manage peak storms. We follow Orange County rules (no discharge to sanitary) and design for NOAA Atlas 14 rainfall events. Explore our Yard Drainage Solutions.

Downspout Drainage Extensions

Roof runoff is a top cause of washouts and mulch loss. We separate roof water from subsurface trenches, then route it in solid PVC or dual-wall ADS N-12 to a curb outlet (with City of Orlando ROW permit where required), a pop-up emitter, or a dry well. Backwater check valves are recommended near Lake Conway to prevent lake surge from re-entering lines. Protect your foundation and landscaping with our Downspout Drainage Extensions.

Catch Basin Installation

Ponding on patios or driveways? We install NDS catch basins and grates, Spee-D Channel for drive entries, and connect to outfalls with cleanout tees for serviceability. Our concrete saw and core drill ensure clean, code-compliant curb cores when permitted. Every basin is set to finished grade, surrounded by compacted base, and tied into lines sized for your roof and yard runoff. See our Catch Basin Installation options.

Yard Grading & Drainage Correction

Improper slopes cause water to linger against slabs and crawl spaces. Using an optical transit, mini excavator, and hand tampers, we regrade to establish positive flow away from structures. We often pair grading with swales, retaining wall footing drains, or a short infiltration trench. Lawn restoration is included - sod removal, replacement, and compaction control are standard.

Certified Design, Proven Methods

Our designers hold NDS Professional Drainage Contractor credentials and certifications through the Irrigation Association (CIC/CLIA/CID). We don’t guess - we measure. Each plan uses a laser level or pipe laser to set fall, a soil probe auger to check water table, and rainfall sizing based on NOAA Atlas 14. For sandy soils, we specify non-woven geotextile with an appropriate Apparent Opening Size to prevent fines migration.

We separate roof downspouts from subsurface trenches to avoid overloading, add cleanouts at direction changes, and include check valves when near lakes or canals. This standards-based approach prevents the common failures we fix: flat runs, undersized pipe, and clogged filter socks.

Permits, Safety, and Compliance

We handle City of Orlando Right-of-Way permits for curb cores when required and follow Orange County stormwater rules - no discharge to sanitary. Before any dig, we place Sunshine 811 tickets (Chapter 556 F.S.) with utility locate flags and APWA color codes. Trenching follows OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart P, with daily competent-person inspections on deeper or unstable cuts.

Working in the public ROW? We restore curb and pavement per city standards, using proper sleeves and backfill compaction. You get compliant paperwork, clear documentation, and a safe, tidy job site.

Right Tools, Durable Materials

Your system is only as strong as its materials and installation. We use #57 washed stone, perforated PVC SDR-35 or dual-wall ADS N-12 where appropriate, and NDS catch basins, grates, and Spee-D Channel. Discharges use pop-up emitters or approved curb cores; lake-adjacent lines get backwater check valves. Our equipment lineup - trenching machines, mini excavators, sod cutters, plate compactors, and inspection cameras - keeps work precise and efficient.

For maintenance and retrofits, we deploy hydro jetting and camera locators to clear and verify existing systems without guesswork.

Local Knowledge, Measurable Results

From Belle Isle waterfronts to Dover Shores and SoDo/Delaney Park, we understand Conway’s flat grades, sugar sand, and seasonal high water. In August 2024, we upgraded a Lake Conway shoreline property with 160 linear feet of perforated trench, a dry well overflow, and a check-valved outlet - reducing post-storm ponding by 90% while preserving mature landscaping.

Expect transparent pricing, same‑week installs in most cases, and fast response after heavy rain. We also assist with HOA submittals when needed.
