Drainage Solutions Before & After Photos

After purchasing his new home in Fort Myers, FL, Braulio was aware of ongoing drainage issues that had been affecting the pool deck and back patio. Wanting a long-term solution to prevent future flooding, he contacted LRE Foundation Repair for a free inspection.

Our expert Design Specialist evaluated the property and developed a customized drainage plan designed to effectively manage rainwater. The solution included installing French drains along the perimeter of the pool deck and patio to capture and redirect water to a designated relief drain away from the home.

Once Braulio approved the plan, our team carefully excavated trenches around the affected areas and installed the subsurface drainage system. The drains were then covered with gravel to promote proper water collection while maintaining a clean, finished appearance.

With the new drainage system in place, Braulio can now enjoy peace of mind knowing his pool deck and patio are protected from heavy rainfall and water intrusion.

Megan F. of Rockledge, Florida was dealing with persistent water pooling around her pool deck, creating slippery, mildew-prone conditions and raising safety concerns. Determined to resolve the issue permanently, she contacted LRE Foundation Repair for a professional evaluation. After a comprehensive inspection, LRE identified that the existing channel drain and original construction were insufficient for proper water management. To correct the problem, the team designed a customized drainage repair solution focused on improving surface drainage and runoff control. The plan included installing a new, high-capacity channel drain system connected to a strategically placed catch basin located farther out on the property, allowing for efficient water collection and redirection away from the pool deck. With the upgraded drainage system in place, excess water now flows properly through the system and disperses safely into the yard. The result is a clean, dry, and slip-resistant pool area—leaving Megan confident in both the safety and long-term performance of her drainage solution.

In Indialantic, FL, John contacted LRE Foundation Repair to address recurring drainage issues around his home following heavy rainfall. Our expert Design Specialist conducted a thorough inspection and developed a custom plan to install an effective exterior drainage system. The plan included connecting the home’s gutter downspouts directly to an underground drainage pipe, effectively channeling rainwater to a relief drain instead of letting it pool around the foundation.

With John’s approval, our team installed the underground drainage system and connected the downspouts. Now, John can rest easy knowing his home’s perimeter is protected from water damage and his foundation is safeguarded against future issues.
