Exterior Drainage Installation

Protect your property with professional drainage solutions that redirect water away from your foundation.

Professional Exterior Drainage Installation in Troy, MI

Exterior drainage installation in Troy MI is critical for protecting homes in this Oakland County city. Troy’s flat terrain and dense clay soil drain poorly even under normal conditions, and during Michigan’s spring thaw when snowmelt combines with heavy rainfall, water has nowhere to go except toward foundations. Homes built in Troy between the 1960s and 1980s were graded correctly when new, but decades of soil settlement and landscaping changes have shifted those grades on many properties.

How We Fix Drainage Problems Around Troy Homes

Our solutions include French drains, dry wells, downspout extensions, and full yard regrading to correct slopes that are working against your foundation. Many Troy homeowners are surprised to find that their downspouts are dumping thousands of gallons of water within a few feet of their foundation every year, and correcting that alone can make an immediate difference in keeping their basement dry.

Our Exterior Drainage Services Include

French Drain Installation

Perforated pipe systems surrounded by gravel that collect and redirect groundwater away from your foundation and problem areas.

Dry Well Systems

Underground collection chambers that allow water to slowly percolate back into the soil, preventing pooling and runoff problems.

Downspout Extensions

Underground piping that carries roof water far away from your foundation, preventing the concentration of water near basement walls.

Yard Grading & Regrading

Reshaping your yard’s slope to ensure water flows away from your foundation rather than toward it.

Channel Drains

Surface drainage solutions for driveways, patios, and other hardscaped areas where water tends to collect.

Catch Basins

Surface water collection points that connect to underground drainage systems to manage yard water effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions

Signs you need exterior drainage include: water pooling in your yard after rain, water flowing toward your foundation, soggy or constantly wet areas, erosion channels, basement water problems, or a musty smell in your basement. If water isn’t draining away from your home properly, exterior drainage can solve the problem.
A French drain is a subsurface system with a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel, designed to collect groundwater below the surface. A trench drain (or channel drain) is a surface-level system with a visible grate that collects surface water from driveways, patios, or other hard surfaces. We install both depending on your needs.
Depending on your property and local regulations, drainage water can be directed to: the street or storm sewer, a dry well that allows water to percolate into the soil, a low area of your property away from structures, or a natural drainage area. We design the system to comply with local codes and effectively manage water.
Exterior drainage costs vary based on the type of system, length of drainage runs, soil conditions, and property complexity. French drains typically range from $20-$50 per linear foot. A complete drainage solution for an average home might range from $2,000-$8,000. We provide detailed quotes after assessing your property.
Properly installed drainage systems require minimal maintenance. Keep surface grates clear of debris, ensure downspout connections remain secure, and occasionally flush the system if you notice slow drainage. We can perform maintenance inspections to ensure your system continues working effectively.
