Drainage Solutions Before & After Photos

In St. Petersburg, Florida, Doreen faced a recurring issue with water pooling near her garage during heavy rain. Concerned about the potential threat this posed to her home’s foundation, she contacted LRE Foundation Repair for a full inspection and possible drainage solutions.

Our Design Specialist discovered that the slope of her yard directed water toward the garage, causing it to collect in that area. To address the problem, we proposed installing a channel drain directly in front of the garage within the driveway’s concrete. This system would collect excess rainwater and redirect it through an underground pipe away from the home.

Once Doreen approved the plan, our team moved quickly to install the channel drain and underground piping. The result was a reliable solution that protects her home’s foundation and eliminates water pooling near the garage. Now, Doreen can enjoy peace of mind knowing her home is safe and dry, no matter how heavy the rain.

Facing recurring issues of pooling water and erosion around the backyard of his St. Petersburg, Florida home, Jeff T. recognized the pressing need for a drainage system. To address the problem, he decided to contact us at LRE Foundation Repair after a recommendation. We inspected the property and determined that the heavy rainfall was posing a potential threat to his home's foundation, and thus opted for the installation of a new trench drain, commonly referred to as a channel drain. Channel drains are useful in directing large amounts of water away from the home and out into the yard or street where it belongs. The relatively easy installation process left this homeowner more than pleased as his concerns were calmed and his home protected from any further damage.

Having experienced rainwater constantly pooling around his home’s pool deck, Dan from St. Petersburg, Florida, reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for assistance with an enhanced drainage solution. After our Design Specialist conducted a full home inspection, we developed a plan to install a new exterior drainage system, including an enhanced channel drain within the pool deck’s concrete to collect and redirect flooding rainwater away from the home. Following Dan’s review and approval, our team carefully removed sections of concrete to place the new channel drain and connected it to the system’s underground drainage pipe. Additionally, nearby downspouts were connected directly into the underground pipe to prevent water from discharging around the pool deck. Upon completion, Dan’s pool deck is now fully equipped to manage rainwater, protecting both his concrete surfaces and the home’s foundation.
