Ground Water
At Diversified Drainage, we understand that properly fixing underground water problems requires treating them at the source. We have the experience, expertise, and equipment to accurately identify and correct the issue rather than provide a temporary fix.
Long-Lasting, Effective Ground Water Drainage Solutions
Ground water, or subsurface water, flows through the soil and rock pore spaces below the earth’s surface. The term “water table” refers to the top level of the saturated soil, which constantly fluctuates depending upon the season and amount of precipitation. A high water table allows water to reach the surface, as do springs and artesian wells.
While completely natural, excessive levels of ground water due to improper drainage can pose a serious risk to your home’s foundation, yard, and landscape.
Warning signs of a ground water problem include:
- Excessively wet soggy lawn
- Pooling water in lawn
- Uneven/unstable ground
- Frost heaving
- Wet basement

Types of Ground Water Solutions
French Drains
French drains channel water away your home to protect the foundation, lawn, and basement from flooding and damage. They consist of a perforated drain pipe that's surrounded by rounded gravel and buried in a trench leading to a storm water system or other outlet.
French Drains help fix and prevent:
- Soggy lawns
- Wet basement
- High water table
- Pooling water in lawn
- Frost heaving
- Leaking/eroding foundation
Curtain Drains
Curtain drains are similar to French drains, except they feature a shallow trench and aren't completely buried. This allows for assistance with surface/storm water as well as ground water drainage.
Curtain Drains help fix and prevent:
- Standing surface water
- Storm water runoff
- High water table
- Wet basement
- Frost heaving
- Leaking/eroding foundation
Foundation Drainage System
Foundation drainage systems capture ground water and channel it away from your home before it can damage the foundational integrity or seep into the basement. They essentially function as a French drain installed around your home’s foundation.
Foundation Drainage Systems help fix and prevent:
- Wet basement
- Basement flooding
- High water table
- Unstable, soggy lawns
- Foundation leaks and damage
- Standing water
Foundation Wall Waterproofing
While most concrete or cinder block foundation walls were sealed during initial construction, the tar-like substance isn't indestructible or everlasting. Protect your basement and foundation with updated waterproofing from Diversified Drainage.
Foundation Wall Waterproofing help fix and prevent:
- Leaking foundation walls
- Wet basement
- Damaged/deteriorating foundation

This is a follow up review, I first posted when my project was completed in the spring. Diversified Drainage installed an extensive drain tile system around an addition to my house that was heaving during the winter. Now that we are into the winter season and the soil is freezing, I can confirm that the solution worked. No evidence of heaving. Thanks for solving the problem.
Mitch and his crew were very easy to work with, professional, friendly, and knowledgeable.
I work for a property management company and we’ve used Diversifed Drainage on several projects now. We have used other outfits for drain tile work and ran into issues with quality and professionalism with previous contractors. Mitch and his team are great at coming up with cost effect solutions to our needs. The guys installing the drain tile are great, hard working guys that are easy to communicate with. In the rental properties they’ve worked at for us, they are very good at answering our residents questions and concerns. They are great at keeping areas safe and work efficiently. Their prices are competitive with other work we’ve had done, but Diversifed Drainage’s work is hands down far better. Highly recommend them.
