Drainage Solutions Before & After Photos

Ann L. was dealing with persistent water pooling around her patio. During our inspection, we discovered that poor grading and inadequate drainage were the root causes. To fix this, we installed a channel drain, also known as a trench drain, in the patio after removing a few pavers. This drain now directs water away from the patio and into the yard. The project was completed quickly, and Ann loved the result—her patio not only looks great but stays dry, solving the issue for good.

Having faced constant flooding issues on his pool deck during rainstorms, Stephen from Port Charlotte, Florida, needed a more effective drainage solution than what was previously in place. He asked us at LRE Foundation Repair for help, and one of our expert Design Specialists visited his home to inspect the pool deck. After carefully examining the issue, our production team replaced the smaller original channel drain with a more robust and effective one to collect excess rainwater and divert it away from the pool deck through an exterior drainage system. With this improved solution in place, Stephen’s flooding issues on his pool deck have now been ultimately resolved.

Wade, who lives in Fort Meade, Florida, has been facing a recurring problem of water flooding inside and under his garage which could potentially damage his home's foundation. To seek help, he contacted LRE Foundation Repair, and a Design Specialist visited his house to conduct a thorough home inspection. After identifying that the old channel drain alongside the garage was no longer functioning effectively, the specialist came up with a solution. The solution involved installing a more efficient drainage system that included a better channel drain to prevent water from flooding the area. The LRE team replaced the old channel drain with the new, more effective drainage system, successfully resolving Wade's flooding issues. Wade can now enjoy peace of mind, knowing that his garage and overall foundation are free from the threat of flooding damage.

Jeff from Ormond Beach, Florida, was in need of a more effective drainage solution around his home after experiencing heavy flooding following severe rainstorms. He called LRE Foundation Repair and scheduled a free inspection with one of our Design Specialists to help provide a solution. After carefully evaluating the existing drainage system at Jeff's home, our specialist designed a plan to install a new system, which included French drains around the perimeter of the property. The plan also involved connecting the gutter downspouts directly to the underground drainage system to prevent the water from dispersing around the foundation. The water collected by the French drains and downspouts would then be diverted out to a pop-up relief drain away from the property through an underground drainage pipe. Once Jeff approved the plan, our team installed the system, carefully concealing it below the surface. Now, with this enhanced drainage system in place, Jeff can be confident that his home is better protected from potential flood damage.
