Yard Drains

The importance of a well-planned yard drainage system cannot be overstated. Yard drainage features protect not only your property but also the safety and health of you and your family. Stagnant pools of water in the outdoor areas of your property, soil erosion and moisture and seepage in your basement are all serious issues that need to be addressed without any delay.

Stagnant pools of water in the yard spaces aren’t just detrimental to the lawns but can be a public health issue as well. They can quickly become a breeding ground for parasites, mosquitos, and bacteria. This is why yard drainage is something you cannot overlook. Whether you need outdoor drains installed in a new yard or need these features to address existing water pooling problems, we can help.

We at Drain Rain Seamless Gutters & Exterior have been serving clients in and around New Bern, Morehead City, Havelock, Swansboro, Beaufort and Jacksonville for many years. We offer custom yard drainage solutions that suit your property and specific needs.

Signs That You Need Yard Drains Installed

There are a number of different signs that indicate you may need a new landscape drainage system installed on your property such as:

Dampness in your basement – this can lead to mold, mildew, fungal growth and wood rot. All these things can damage your home’s structure as well as threaten your family’s health.
You constantly have to operate the sump pump because there are leaks in your basement
Your basement is excessively humid

If you have noticed any of these signs in your home, call us right away. We will send our yard drainage experts over to your home. More often than not, a poorly-installed or inadequate yard drainage system is the cause of basement humidity and flooding problems.

Yard Drains To Solve Soil Erosion Problems

Excessive amounts of water in the outdoor spaces of your property can result in soil erosion in the key areas of your landscape. Soil erosion is a result of water flowing over the bare ground, picking up the soil as it flows and depositing it at another spot. The faster or more the flow, the more damage the water can cause.

Erosion of soil around your home’s foundation can cause even more water to leak into the basement areas. In severe cases, it can cause the structure to shift as well. Erosion of soil at the base of large tree roots increases the risk of tree collapses in winter storms, presenting a very serious safety issue.

Our experts will survey the yard area, assess whether the current drainage system is causing the problem, and provide the best solution. We work closely with you to identify fixes that solve the issues, and fit within your budget.
