Drainage Improvements
If Water Has Nowhere to Go — It Ends Up Where You Don’t Want It
You don’t need a major storm to have a water problem.
All it takes is one low spot in the yard, a clogged downspout, or a cracked slope in the wrong direction — and now the water’s pooling at your foundation, not running away from it.
At UPR, we fix that.
We redesign the way water moves around your home — improving grading, installing drainage systems, and making sure every drop flows where it’s supposed to.
Because when water stays near your home long enough, it always finds a way in.
What Causes Drainage Problems?
Most homes were designed with basic drainage in mind.
But over time, those systems fail — or they were never done properly to begin with.
Here’s what we often see:
Yards that slope toward the foundation, not away
Downspouts that discharge too close to the home
Patios or walkways that direct water toward basement windows
Clogged or disconnected weeping tile systems
Soil that’s settled, sunken, or improperly compacted
Gutters that overflow and create waterfall zones near basement walls
These are the small problems that cause big damage. Cracked foundations. Flooded basements. Mold, humidity, and air quality issues.
Fixing them starts with a clear look at the way water moves — and doesn’t.
Our Drainage Solutions
No two homes are the same — and neither are the fixes.
That’s why we tailor every drainage improvement plan to your property’s layout, soil type, and risk level.
Depending on what we find, we might recommend:
Grading & slope correction — to direct surface water away from your home
French drains or surface channels — to intercept and redirect runoff
Downspout extensions — to keep roof water well away from your foundation
Dry wells or catch basins — for high-flow areas with no natural runoff path
Drainage corrections near window wells
Weeping tile inspection and restoration
Sometimes, a simple regrade is all you need. Other times, we combine solutions for complete protection.
We’ll show you every option — and explain exactly what matters most.
Signs You May Need Drainage Work
Not sure if water’s a problem on your property?
Keep an eye out for:
Pooling water near foundation walls or window wells
Basement dampness or mildew, especially after rain
Soil erosion, washed-out mulch, or uneven landscaping
Downspouts emptying directly onto walkways or soil
Standing water after storms
Sump pump running constantly (indoor water can be a symptom of outdoor failure)
If water isn’t moving away from your house, it’s moving toward it.
Let’s get ahead of that.
