Drainage FAQs


»Why should I consider a drainage solution?

If you answer 'Yes' to any or all of the following questions, it suggests you could benefit from a drainage solution:
  • Do you see standing water well after watering or a hard rain?
  • Do some areas of your landscape seem to be dying for no particular reason?
  • Can you see patches in lawn where your grass seems quite thin, unhealthy... even though you water it regularly, it gets plenty of sun and there's no evident disease?
  • Do some areas of your lawn need constant treatment for fungus?
  • Is water leaking into your home or garage?
  • Does your sump pump seem to be running more than you think it should?

A drainage system solution will likely resolve any of these you answered 'Yes' to.

» What are the benefits of a drainage system?

Adding a drainage system gives you many advantages & benefits, including controlling erosion, removing surface water that may damage or destroy your lawn and attract mosquitoes. A drainage system will also provide more and better aeration to the roots of your grass, and increase the supply of available plant food. An improved drainage system will also decrease the risk of freeze damage, since frost heaving can raise, crack, or buckle your sidewalks and hardscapes.

» Will I need permits for the drainage work?

You won't require permits for drainage system work.

That said, to be effective as we work on your drainage system solution, we will need to know where things (gas lines, electrical, phone, cable lines, etc.) might be buried on your property, so we'll ask DigTess to locate/mark all underground utilities. You'll be responsible for showing us (or telling us about) anything else that may be buried in your yard which won't be marked by DigTess.

» Will installing a drainage system create a mess of my lawn & gardens?

To create the proper slope for your drainage system piping (so gravity can carry the storm water away), we will need to disrupt and/or displace things in your yard. Our crews are trained to minimize this as much as possible – and to clean up the affected areas once your drainage system project is completed. We are often told by residents that we leave their yard in better shape than it was prior to the start of their project.

» What type of piping do you use for drainage solutions?

We use two types of pipe – Corrugated steel pipe, and sewer & drain pipe, a smooth-walled, polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

It will depend on the specifics of your property and your drainage system requirements as to whether sewer and drain pipe (PVC), or corrugated drain pipe will be appropriate... and our representative will describe the relative benefits and costs of each to you.

You'll want your drainage system to be open, functional, and as free from obstructions as much as possible.

Due to its smooth walls and the rigid nature of PVC, the sewer and drain pipe is often the better choice. Since water flows easier over the smooth PVC surface, it's less prone to root intrusion and clogging due to debris from roof run-off. And should it ever become clogged, it's easy to clear.

» Do you guarantee that your drainage solution will work?

We guarantee all of our work. Our technicians will assess your specific situation and develop a drainage solution to best-resolve your issues.
