Drainage Solutions Before & After Photos

In Groveland, Florida, Andrew sought an effective drainage solution for his home after experiencing significant flooding around the perimeter of his foundation following heavy rainstorms. He reached out to LRE Foundation Repair, and we sent one of our expert Design Specialists to assess the situation. After a thorough inspection, our specialist recommended installing an EZ Flow French drain around the home's perimeter. This system collects and diverts pooling rainwater through an underground drainage pipe to a pop-up relief drain located away from the property. Additionally, the downspouts from the roof’s gutter system will be directly connected to the underground drainage system to improve water diversion and prevent rainwater from pooling around the foundation's base. Once Andrew approved the plan, our team installed the new drainage system, effectively addressing the water pooling issue. With this system in place, Andrew can now feel confident that his foundation is protected against potential water damage.

Bailey in Lakeland, FL, was dealing with ongoing water issues as rain would regularly collect near her home and threaten the foundation—especially around the garage. She reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for help, and after a free inspection by one of our Design Specialists, a tailored drainage solution was designed to address the problem at its source.

As part of the system, our crew installed a new channel drain in the driveway to capture and redirect rainwater before it could enter the garage. The team carefully removed precise sections of concrete, set the drain into place, and then restored the surface with fresh concrete for a clean, seamless finish. With the new drainage system in place, Bailey’s garage and foundation are now protected from water intrusion during heavy rainstorms.

After repeated rainstorms caused water to collect around her home, Bailey of Lakeland, FL, knew it was time to address the drainage problems putting her foundation and garage at risk. She contacted LRE Foundation Repair, and a complimentary inspection was scheduled with one of our experienced Design Specialists.

Following a full assessment of the property, a custom drainage solution was designed to control and redirect stormwater away from the home. A key part of the plan included installing a new channel drain across the driveway to capture runoff before it could flow into the garage. Our crew carefully cut and removed sections of concrete, installed the drain within the trench, and then restored the surface with new concrete to ensure a smooth, finished appearance.

With the system fully installed, rainwater is now effectively managed and directed away from the home, helping to protect Bailey’s foundation and garage from future water damage.

Bailey from Lakeland, FL, asked LRE Foundation Repair for assistance with installing an effective yard drainage system around her home to help remove rainwater that would routinely pool around the foundation. After having our Design Specialist conduct a complimentary inspection, we created a customized plan to install a new drainage system that included implementing an enhanced channel drain within the concrete driveway to prevent water from intruding into the garage. Our production crew removed carefully measured sections of concrete and placed the channel drain within the excavated trench. We then poured new concrete around the drain to secure it in place and maintain a smooth, even surface. Now Bailey no longer has to worry about water intruding into her garage when it rains, protecting her foundation and peace of mind.

Kathy and Makaela S. were experiencing ongoing moisture intrusion on the back patio of their Auburndale, Florida home, which eventually led to mold growth along the baseboards. Concerned about the impact on their home and foundation, they contacted LRE Foundation Repair for a professional assessment. After a thorough inspection, LRE identified soil settlement and washed-out soils as the primary causes of the drainage failure. To address these issues, the team designed a customized drainage repair solution focused on long-term moisture control and foundation protection. The system included an EZ-Flow French drain to capture and redirect groundwater away from the patio, along with a sump pump installation to efficiently collect and discharge excess water to a safe location in the yard. This integrated subsurface drainage system works together to prevent water buildup and intrusion, all while remaining buried for a clean, unobtrusive appearance. With proper drainage and water management restored, Kathy and Makaela can now enjoy a dry patio and peace of mind knowing their home is protected.
