What Are Surface Drains?

Stop Standing Water Before It Becomes Damage

Surface drains are engineered inlets—such as catch basins, yard drains, and channel drains—that capture stormwater at the surface and direct it safely away from structures, lawns, and hardscapes. Connected to solid conveyance piping and a compliant discharge point, they prevent water pooling, lawn die-off, erosion, slippery paved areas, and foundation stress.

Strategically placed at low spots, along driveways and patios, and below downspouts, surface drains intercept runoff before it can infiltrate where it shouldn’t. Properly sized pipes, reliable slope, and debris-resistant grates help ensure continuous flow to an approved outlet such as daylight, a dry well, or a municipal storm connection when permitted—often in tandem with downspout and sump discharge management.

Assessment, Design, And Code-Compliant Construction

Our process begins with a thorough site assessment to map drainage patterns, identify low points, and locate utilities. We right-size inlets, select traffic-rated or decorative grates as needed, and specify durable piping and fittings to handle regional rainfall. The design includes pipe sizing, slope targets, cleanouts for maintenance, and a safe discharge location that meets code.

During installation, our crew excavates and sets a stable base, installs solvent-welded or gasketed pipe at consistent fall, and sets basins at precise grades for efficient capture. We test flow, flush lines, and restore disturbed areas with compacted backfill, seed or sod, and hardscape repairs as needed. Permitting and inspections are handled start to finish, and you’ll receive maintenance guidance for long-term performance.

We Keep It Dry With Proven Designs And Lasting Materials

We focus exclusively on drainage, bringing specialized diagnostics and proven solutions to each project. From driveways that ice over due to runoff to soggy lawns and damp basements, our team designs integrated systems that solve the root cause—not just the symptoms.

Lifetime warranties available on eligible surface drain systems provide confidence that your investment is protected. We specify robust materials, impact- and UV-resistant grates, and cold-weather construction practices to stand up to freeze–thaw cycles. You’ll also get clear care recommendations to keep your system performing for decades.

Expect transparent proposals with fixed scopes, clear timelines, and careful site protection. We communicate at every stage, minimize disruption, and leave your property clean and restored. Post-install photos, video where applicable, and optional annual service ensure you always know your system is working as intended.
