Drainage Solutions Before & After Photos

Kim's Dover, Florida home would flood every time it rained, and water would leak into the enclosed patio. She tried everything she could to fix the problem, and eventually called LRE Foundation Repair for professional help. LRE completed an inspection of the property and determined poor drainage and overflowing downspouts were failing to properly divert water away from the foundation. This homeowner needed a new drainage solution that consisted of newly buried downspouts, French drains, and an EZ Flow system, all of which would prevent water from flooding around her foundation. LRE completed the project, leaving the site better than how they found it. Kim was pleased with her new drainage system and relieved that her home's flooding issues were finally resolved.

Sharon in Frostproof, Florida, had long been dealing with persistent flooding issues along the left side of her home and sought assistance from LRE Foundation Repair to help provide a solution. Following a full home inspection by one of our Design Specialists, a plan was devised to install an effective exterior drainage system. This included strategically placing a channel drain within the concrete walkway along the perimeter of the affected side of the home. Additionally, the downspouts extending from the home’s gutter system would be connected directly to the underground pipe system of the channel drain, ensuring that water is effectively directed away from the home. Our production team implemented the plan, and upon successful completion, Sharon was pleased to see that the flooding issues on the left side of her home have been effectively resolved.

Chrisanne S. of Brandon, Florida had growing concerns as water started intruding into her home during heavy rains. She called LRE Foundation Repair to assess the damage and design the solution. LRE installed a drainage solution that would divert water away from her foundation. LRE installed hard pipe underground, EZ Flow materials, and pop-up drains to complete this customized system. Once completed, this homeowner was able to rest easy knowing no further water would enter or damage her home.

David’s yard around his home in Valrico, Florida would constantly flood during the heavy Florida thunderstorms. Ready to put these concerns to rest, he reached out to us at LRE Foundation Repair to help provide him with a lasting solution. Following a free inspection of David’s property, it was discovered the downspouts connected to the home’s gutter system had been flooding the surrounding areas due to a lack of adequate water diversion. To remedy this the downspouts were connected to a new underground EZ Flow French drain system that was installed by our production team. The water from the gutters will now be channeled directly to the underground drainage pipe system and out to a pop-up relief drain away from the home. David’s flooding issues are now effectively resolved, putting his concerns to rest once and for all.

Mark in Tampa, Florida, recently had a new channel drain installed in his pool deck to alleviate flooding and divert water outside of the pool cage area. However, a new issue arose when the water began pooling around the home's foundation at the point where the water was released from the channel drain. He contacted us at LRE Foundation Repair to help devise an effective solution for this flooding issue, and one of our expert Design Specialists visited his home to inspect the situation. After careful examination, the specialist devised a plan to install a catch basin at the exterior of the pool deck where the water was discharged. From there, the water would flow through an underground hard pipe and be released via a pop-up relief drain at the far end of the property. Our team promptly executed the plan, successfully implementing this new solution. Upon completion of the work, Mark was thrilled with the outcome and can now enjoy freedom from this persistent flooding issue.
