We love the DIY spirit. Extensions on downspouts? Absolutely, do it yourself. But when it comes to digging next to your home's footing, the risks often outweigh the savings.
The Depth Danger
Installing a true French drain often requires digging 2-4 feet deep right next to your foundation. Without proper shoring or technique, this can compromise the soil bearing capacity of your footing, causing the house to settle. We have been called to fix DIY projects where the homeowner inadvertently undermined their own foundation.
Equipment vs Shovel
Moving 15 tons of gravel by wheelbarrow is back-breaking work. We use specialized mini-excavators that fit through backyard gates to ensure proper trench depth and slope. What takes a homeowner 3 weekends takes a professional crew 6 hours—with a lifetime warranty on the result.
Stop the Water Damage.
Water issues don't get better with time—they get more expensive. Get a professional opinion before the next storm.
