In the Greater Atlanta area, having a proper drainage system is essential, heavy summer storms, clay‑rich soil, and sloped lots make water management critical for protecting your most valuable asset: your home. Whether you’re building a new driveway, backyard patio, or retaining wall, a well‑designed drainage system keeps your property safe, beautiful, and low‑maintenance for years to come.
Without proper drainage, rainwater can pool and seep into your home’s foundation, erode the soil, and even cause structural failure. Our goal is to prevent these costly, stressful issues before they even start.
The Atlanta Drainage Dilemma: Soil, Storms & Slope
You know the feeling: a summer thunderstorm rolls in, and suddenly your yard becomes a pond. This isn’t just an inconvenience, it’s a serious threat. Georgia’s dense red clay soil drains slowly, and frequent, intense rains (especially during hurricane season) create ideal conditions for standing water.
If left unchecked, this standing water can lead to:
- Cracking or sinking of driveways, sidewalks, patios
- Erosion and washouts in yards and landscaped areas
- Foundation damage and collapse of retaining walls
- Mold, mildew, and mosquito breeding in stagnant water
