Drainage Solutions Before & After Photos

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.

Megan F. from Rockledge, Florida had been facing a persistent problem of water pooling around her pool deck, resulting in slippery mildew conditions. In order to solve this problem for good, she sought the help of LRE Foundation Repair. LRE conducted a whole-home inspection and found that the previous channel drain and poor construction was not enough to handle the amount of water that ended up on the deck. To tackle this issue, LRE designed a drainage solution that included a new channel drain that would connect to a catch basin located far out in the property. This new system would allow a sufficient amount of water to flow through the new drain and out into the yard. Once the project was completed, the homeowner was thrilled to see that the pooling water and mildew conditions were eliminated. 

Having dealt with constant flooding issues on one side of his home, Richard in Boynton Beach, Florida asked LRE Foundation Repair to help with designing an effective drainage solution. Upon inspection of his property by one of our Design Specialists, it was revealed that the downspouts connected to the home’s gutter system had not been adequately dispersing water away from the house, causing much of the problematic flooding. As part of a new comprehensive drainage system, our team connected the downspouts to a buried drainage pipe beneath the home’s yard. This setup directs rainwater toward a relief drain located away from the house. With this new solution in place, Richard’s flooding problems around his home have been effectively resolved, and his foundation is now safeguarded against water damage.

Flooding had been a persistent issue in the yard of Gary’s home in Cooper City, Florida, and he knew he needed to have the problem addressed to prevent potentially serious damage to his foundation. A Design Specialist from LRE Foundation Repair visited Gary’s home to conduct an inspection and craft a customized solution to help prevent flooding. After looking over the yard of the home, the specialist discovered that although the home had a gutter and downspout system, the water would regularly pool around the perimeter of the home due to poor grading of the yard. A plan was devised to install an EZ Flow French Drain system, which includes a buried extension for the downspouts. This extension will directly channel water from the gutters and into the subsurface system. From here, the water will then be diverted out through a pop-up relief drain located at the far end of the home's property. Following LRE’s installation of his new drainage system, Gary’s flooding issues have now been successfully resolved, relieving him of this persistent issue.

Ramon's Hollywood, Florida home was damaged during the last hurricane, with water intruding into the house. Worried that the damage might get worse, he called LRE Foundation Repair for a proper drainage solution. LRE inspected the property and noted damage to the foundation had allowed water to enter the home. Proper drainage was needed around the perimeter of the home, as well as an upgraded downspout that would divert excess water away from the foundation. LRE's team got to work, excavating a carefully measured trench and laying the necessary pipe and gravel materials. Following the completion of the installation, LRE took care of burying all materials and cleaning up the site, leaving this homeowner more than pleased with the results.
