Foundation Pro Drainage Services
Foundation Pro provides tailored drainage solutions based on your property’s unique challenges — including soil type, elevation, flow of water to the lowest point of your property, and existing infrastructure.
French Drains
French drains are one of the most effective and long-lasting drainage systems for both yards and foundation perimeters. These gravel-filled trenches contain perforated piping that redirects water away from your home’s foundation.
- Ideal for yard drainage, crawl spaces, and basements
- Reduces hydrostatic pressure on foundation walls
- Prevents standing water and surface runoff
- Minimizes erosion around patios and slabs
We offer professional French drain installation using filter sleeves to prevent clogs and ensure years of reliable performance.
Trench Drains & Channel Drains
Perfect for surface water problems around driveways, pool decks, patios, and sidewalks, trench drains (also called channel or track drains) are linear drainage systems installed at grade level to capture and redirect water quickly.
- Best for sloped concrete or areas prone to flooding
- Ties directly into underground drainage systems
- Minimizes water pooling near slab edges
Sump Pumps & Installation
For homes with basement drainage or crawl space drainage issues, sump pumps are your best defense. We install high-capacity systems with durable sump basins that collect and discharge water far from your home.
- Protects your basement from flooding
- Essential for low-lying crawl spaces
- Works in tandem with French drains or interior drainage
- Available with battery backup and alarms
Our sump pump installation includes airtight lids, sediment-reducing platforms, and discharge line protection (IceGuard® options available).
Crawl Space Drainage
Moisture in your crawl space can lead to rot, mold, musty odors, and pests. Even small amounts of excess water can wreak havoc on wood framing and insulation.
We address crawl space drainage with a combination of:
- Interior trenching and drain systems
- Vapor barrier and encapsulation
- Sump pump installation for active water removal
- Exterior grading adjustments and perimeter drains
Basement Drainage
Basement water intrusion is common in homes with inadequate exterior drainage or hydrostatic pressure against the foundation. We install basement waterproofing and drainage systems including:
- Interior perimeter drains
- Wall channeling
- Sump pumps with battery backup
- Downspout extensions and surface regrading
Yard Drainage Solutions
A soggy yard isn’t just bad for curb appeal — it’s often the first sign of improper water flow around your foundation. Yard drainage issues lead to:
- Pooling water after rain
- Erosion and low spots in landscaping
- Foundation saturation and settling
- Poor lawn health
Our solutions may include:
- French drain installation
- Grading and swale re-shaping
- Gutter/downspout redirection
- Dry wells or catch basins
By correcting surface drainage, we help protect your yard and home from long-term water damage.
Advanced Drainage Systems: Built for Arkansas Soils
Arkansas’ clay-based soils are highly absorbent and prone to expansion. That’s why we specialize in advanced drainage systems that manage both surface and subsurface water.
Unlike DIY solutions or one-size-fits-all kits, our systems are designed with:
- Proper slope and grade calculations
- High-flow, durable pipework and filtration
- Seamless integration with sump pumps, crawlspace liners, or downspouts
- Professional backfill and landscape restoration
DIY vs. Professional Drainage Installation
While it’s tempting to tackle water problems on your own, most drainage issues stem from complex factors like soil type, water table height, and improper grading. Misdiagnosing or improperly installing a drainage system can worsen the problem — and cost more in repairs.
Foundation Pro offers:
- Comprehensive drainage assessments
- Custom solutions based on your home’s conditions
- Certified technicians with the right tools and training
- Warrantied installation and long-term peace of mind
