Drainage Solutions for Lancaster County Homes & Businesses
Standing water, a wet basement, or runoff pooling at the foundation? We design drainage systems that carry water safely away and keep your property dry.
Gutters and downspouts catch the rain — but if that water has nowhere good to go, it ends up against your foundation, in your basement, or pooling in your yard. We design and install drainage systems that finish the job.
From buried downspout lines to full French drains and dry wells, we solve the water problems that damage foundations and ruin landscaping.
Underground Downspout Drainage
We bury solid-pipe lines from your downspouts and carry the water — with proper slope — to a safe discharge point well away from the house. No more splash blocks, trip hazards, or water dumping at the foundation.
French Drains, Dry Wells & Catch Basins
For chronic standing water and saturated soil, a French drain intercepts and redirects groundwater, while dry wells and catch basins collect and disperse runoff underground. We spec the right system for your conditions.
Foundation & Yard Drainage
Lancaster County's clay-heavy soils hold water. We grade, route, and drain so runoff moves away from your foundation and out of low spots — protecting your basement, your footings, and your lawn.
Signs You Have a Drainage Problem
Standing water hours after rain, a damp or leaking basement, eroded mulch and soil, ice patches in winter, or water stains on foundation walls all point to a drainage issue worth solving.
What It Costs
Underground downspout runs commonly start around $150–$350 each, and French drains typically run about $10–$35 per linear foot depending on depth and length. We'll assess your property and quote it for free.

Questions & Answers
Drainage Solutions FAQs
How do I redirect downspout water away from my house?
The reliable fix is a buried, sloped drainage line that carries downspout water to a discharge point 10+ feet from the foundation — much cleaner and more effective than surface splash blocks.
How much does a French drain cost?
French drains typically run about $10–$35 per linear foot installed, depending on depth, length, and access. We provide a free on-site assessment and quote.
How do I fix standing water or pooling near my foundation?
We diagnose the cause — poor grading, undersized drainage, or downspouts dumping at the house — then install the right combination of regrading, buried drainage, French drain, or dry well to move the water away.
What is an underground downspout drainage system?
It's a buried, solid-pipe line connected to your downspouts that carries roof water underground to a safe outlet, instead of letting it spill beside your foundation.
French drain vs. dry well — which is better?
A French drain redirects water away along a sloped trench; a dry well collects and slowly disperses it underground. The right choice depends on where the water comes from and where it can go — we'll recommend the best fit.
How far should downspouts drain from the foundation?
At least 6–10 feet away. Discharging closer than that is a leading cause of wet basements and foundation issues.
