WHY IT MATTERS
Wet Clay Moves Your Foundation
The clay soil across most of the Denver metro expands when it gets wet and shrinks when it dries. That movement happens right against your foundation, and repeated cycles are how basement cracks start.
​
A soggy lawn is annoying. Water pooling within a few feet of the house is a different category of problem, and it gets more expensive the longer it runs
THE FIXES
Three Ways to Move Water
Regrading
Re-establishing fall away from the house so surface water leaves instead of collecting.
French Drains
Gravel and pipe systems that collect subsurface water and carry it to a safe discharge point.
Downspout Extensions
Buried lines that move roof water well past the foundation instead of dumping it at the corner.
OUR APPROACH
Same Puddle, Different Cause
Two yards with the same puddle can need completely different fixes. One might be a grade issue solved by moving dirt. Another might be a compacted layer under the lawn, or roof water concentrating in one spot, or a neighbor's slope feeding into yours.
​
We walk the property, look at where the water starts and where it wants to go, and quote the fix that addresses the cause. Installing a drain in the wrong place moves the problem instead of solving it.
