Questions

Yard & foundation drainage, answered.

Answers from licensed plumbers and septic installers. Still unsure? Call us at (860) 317-0873.

What is a curtain drain?
A trench filled with stone and perforated pipe that intercepts groundwater and carries it away from the house. Ours start from $7,933 for up to 50 feet.
Can you tie my downspouts into a drain?
Yes. Downspouts within 5 feet are tied into a curtain drain, and separate drain lines start from $1,463.
Will a drain fix a wet basement?
Often. Moving roof and surface water away from the foundation solves many wet basements. Footing drain outlets fix the rest.
