Drainage Solutions Before & After Photos

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.

Ken’s pool deck in Longwood, Florida, often flooded during heavy rainstorms, leaving large pools of water that drained slowly. Seeking a lasting solution, he contacted LRE Foundation Repair. Our Design Specialist inspected the property and found that the original channel drains had become damaged and were no longer adequate for providing proper drainage, causing persistent pooling. We proposed installing a new exterior drainage system featuring an upgraded channel drain to efficiently collect and divert rainwater away from the deck. After Ken’s approval, our team removed sections of concrete, installed the new channel drain, and connected it to a subsurface drainage pipe system. Now, Ken’s pool deck is well-protected with a superior drainage solution that prevents pooling and safeguards his home from water damage.

Connor from Longwood, Florida, had just purchased his new home and wanted to install an exterior drainage system around his pool deck to eliminate the rainwater that routinely pooled in the area. He reached out to LRE Foundation Repair to learn how we could help, and our Customer Care team quickly scheduled a free appointment with one of our Design Specialists.

After inspecting the property’s layout, our specialist designed a plan to install catch basins throughout the yard that would collect and redirect rainwater through an underground drainage pipe and out a relief drain away from the pool deck. Connor reviewed the proposal and gave our team the green light to begin the work.

Our crew removed sections of the yard around the pool deck to install the catch basins, relief drain, and underground piping. Once everything was placed and connected, the team replaced the previously removed sod, leaving the new subsurface system neatly concealed with a clean, seamless appearance.

Now, Connor’s backyard pool deck is protected from water pooling, helping prevent future damage and giving him peace of mind as he settles into his new home.

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.
