Why Proper Drainage is Crucial for Your Property

Effective drainage is vital to protect your property from water damage. Poor drainage can lead to a variety of problems, including:

  • Foundation damage:  Water pooling near your foundation can cause cracks, settling, and even structural failure over time.
  • Erosion: Improper drainage can lead to soil erosion, damaging your landscaping and landscaping features.
  • Flooding and Water Pooling:  Excess water in your yard can cause flooding, standing water, and a breeding ground for pests like mosquitoes.
  • Basement water intrusion:  Without proper drainage, water can seep into your basement, leading to flooding and mold growth.


With  Emery & Son Contracting, you can trust that our drainage systems will address these issues and provide lasting solutions to keep your property safe and dry.

French Drains

A French drain is an effective solution for redirecting water away from your property. It consists of a trench filled with gravel and a perforated pipe that channels water away from your foundation, landscaping, or low-lying areas. Emery & Son Contracting installs French drains to ensure water is diverted efficiently and does not accumulate around your home or business.

Surface Drainage Systems

For areas that experience surface runoff, surface drainage systems are ideal. These systems include catch basins, channel drains, and grates designed to collect and redirect water flow. We design and install surface drainage systems to manage excess water and prevent damage to your landscaping or foundation.

Sump Pumps

Sump pumps are installed in basements or crawlspaces to prevent water from accumulating and flooding your property. If your property is prone to groundwater infiltration, Emery & Son Contracting can install a sump pump system that automatically pumps out water before it can cause damage. We ensure the pump is properly sized and installed for maximum efficiency.

The Drainage Installation Process

  • Site Assessment and Consultation

    We begin the process with a thorough site assessment to evaluate the drainage needs of your property. We identify any problem areas, such as water pooling or poor drainage, and discuss the best solutions for your specific situation. Our team works with you to design a drainage system that meets your needs and budget.

  • Design and Planning

    Once the site assessment is complete, we create a detailed drainage plan that outlines the best course of action for your property. We take into account factors such as soil type, slope, and water flow patterns to design an efficient drainage system that will effectively divert water away from your home or business.

  • Installation

    After finalizing the design, we proceed with the installation of the drainage system. Using top-quality materials and modern equipment, we dig trenches, install pipes, and set up the necessary components to ensure that your system works as intended. We also ensure that the installation is done according to local codes and regulations for optimal performance.

  • Testing and Final Inspection

    Once the system is installed, we test it to ensure everything is functioning properly. We check for any areas where water may still pool and make necessary adjustments. After testing, we perform a final inspection to ensure the system is working efficiently and that your property is well-protected from water damage.
