Expert Drainage Repair in Lexington, SC

Drainage problems can result from a variety of factors, including improper grading, compacted soil, clogged downspouts, poor landscaping design, or insufficient drainage systems. Even new construction can suffer from drainage issues if water flow wasn't properly planned. Our team can identify the root cause and recommend the best solution.

Signs you may need professional drainage repair include standing water after rain, soggy or muddy patches that never dry out, water pooling near your foundation, yellowing or dying grass in specific areas, and mildew or moisture in basements or crawl spaces. If you notice any of these issues, it's a good idea to schedule an inspection.

We offer a wide range of drainage repair solutions tailored to your specific property needs. These include French drains, surface drains, dry creek beds, downspout extensions, grading and re-sloping, and erosion control systems. Each solution is designed to redirect or absorb excess water safely and effectively.

If you’re unsure whether your lawn or property has a drainage issue, look out for the following red flags:

• Pooled water after rainstorms
• Spongy or muddy areas that never seem to dry out
• Dying or yellowing grass in low-lying areas
• Mold or mildew in crawl spaces or basements
• Visible water stains on exterior walls or foundation cracks

At The Grounds Guys of Lexington, we don’t offer one-size-fits-all fixes. Our drainage repair services are tailored to the unique needs of your property, taking into account your soil type, elevation, vegetation, and existing infrastructure. We begin with a full evaluation of the drainage issues and develop a customized solution that works for your landscape and budget.

Our drainage repair solutions include:

• French Drains - Ideal for redirecting surface water and groundwater away from your home or low-lying areas. We install perforated pipes within a gravel-filled trench to guide excess water to a safe discharge point.
• Surface Drains and Catch Basins - These systems collect water from driveways, patios, or lawns and divert it through underground piping. Perfect for properties with large hardscapes or heavily compacted soil.
• Dry Creek Beds - A functional and decorative option for managing stormwater runoff, especially in sloped yards. These beds mimic natural water pathways and help slow erosion while enhancing curb appeal.
• Downspout Extensions - Redirect roof runoff away from your home’s foundation to prevent water damage and soil saturation.
• Grading and Re-sloping - We assess the topography of your yard and make necessary adjustments to ensure water flows away from buildings and landscaping beds.
• Erosion Control Solutions - If your property is on a slope, erosion can be a significant concern. We implement strategies like retaining walls, terracing, and plant-based solutions to keep your soil in place.
