Drainage Solutions Before & After Photos

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.

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.

Koltan of Orlando, Florida, contacted LRE Foundation Repair for assistance in designing a new, effective drainage system after experiencing repeated flooding on his home's back patio. After completing a thorough full home inspection for Koltan, one of our knowledgeable Design Specialists advised him that standing water was not only a regular annoyance but also had a detrimental effect on his home's foundation and concrete. To alleviate the flooding issue, a plan was devised to install a sturdy channel drain that would run the whole length of the patio's concrete. Our team went to work, carefully measuring and removing the appropriate amount of concrete to correctly install the new channel drain, providing the patio with the perfect solution for eliminating any standing water. Koltan's patio is now appropriately equipped to weather strong rainstorms, and he can rest assured that his home's foundation and concrete are no longer at risk.

Mary from Orlando, Florida, reached out to LRE Foundation Repair to report that water was intruding into the sunroom next to her pool deck. She previously had a drainage system installed that proved to be ineffective, so she asked us to help design an alternative solution. One of our Design Specialists visited Mary’s home to inspect the issue and developed a plan to install an EZ Flow French drain system along the sunroom's exterior walls. This system would work to collect and redirect water to a relief drain away from the home. With Mary’s approval, our production team soon stepped in and began installing the French drain by removing the appropriate amount of soil in order to position the system below the surface. Once the system was in place, we carefully concealed the French drain to provide a seamless appearance. Mary’s sunroom now benefits from an effective solution to prevent further water intrusion, much to her relief.

In Port Orange, Florida, Paul’s pool deck required a more effective drainage solution after he noticed water pooling in the area following heavy rainstorms. After reaching out to us at LRE Foundation Repair to schedule a free appointment, we sent one of our expert Design Specialists to conduct a thorough inspection of his pool deck. Our specialist determined that the pre-existing channel drain embedded in the pool deck’s concrete had become damaged over time and no longer provided sufficient drainage.

A plan was created to implement a new drainage solution, which involved replacing the old channel drain with an enhanced version designed to collect and divert excess rainwater to a pop-up relief drain located away from the pool deck. After presenting this new solution to Paul, our production team quickly began the installation process, carefully removing and replacing the old channel drain with the more effective drainage system. Paul’s pool deck is now equipped with the right solution to prevent water from pooling, effectively protecting both the concrete and the foundation of his home.
