Stormwater and Yard Drainage Problems

Clogged yard drains, crushed downspout lines and infiltration put water where it does not belong.

Heavy Middle Tennessee rain can overwhelm a drainage system that is clogged, crushed or disconnected. Water pools against the foundation, seeps into the basement or even enters the sewer through cracks and illegal connections, where it can overload the line.

We look at the whole path: gutters and downspouts, yard drains and catch basins, buried lines and where they discharge. Cleaning, re-laying, adding a sump or a backwater valve can all be part of the answer.

Questions

Stormwater Problems FAQ

Can stormwater get into the sanitary sewer?

Cracks, open cleanouts and old connections can let rainwater into the sewer. Camera inspection can find them.

Away from the foundation, ideally several feet or into a buried pipe that leads to a safe outlet.

Is a French drain the answer?

Sometimes. We help you choose between drains, grading and pumps.
