Drainage Solutions Before & After Photos

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. had been dealing with moisture issues in the back patio of their Auburndale, Florida home. Once they started noticing mold growing near the baseboards, they called LRE Foundation Repair for help. LRE conducted a thorough inspection of the property and noticed settlement damage and washed-out soils were the main causes of the moisture intrusion. Our team got to work on a solution to fix the problems and protect the foundation permanently by custom-designing a drainage system using an EZ-Flow French drain and sump pump installation. The French drain is a popular option to divert the flow of pooling water away from the foundation, and the sump pump works to collect and pump water out into the yard where it belongs. The whole system is buried underground leaving the homeowner happy with the drainage solution they were looking for.

Harold from Apopka, FL, reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for help installing an effective yard drainage system to divert rainwater away from his home and protect his foundation. After completing a complimentary inspection of Harold’s property, our Design Specialist created a customized plan to install a subsurface drainage system featuring strategically placed catch basins that would collect excess rainwater and redirect it through an underground drainage pipe to a relief drain away from the home.

Once Harold approved the plan, our team began excavating a trench for the drainage pipe and setting the catch basins in place. After the installation was complete, the crew carefully restored the yard using the previously removed sod and added gravel around the catch basins to guide water into the system.

Now, Harold’s home is well-protected from water pooling around the property, providing lasting peace of mind and protection for his foundation.
