Signs You Need a Drainage System

If you're experiencing any of the following signs on your property, it may be time to consider professional drainage installation:

  • Soggy, persistently wet patches in your yard.
  • Standing water after it rains.
  • Frequent lawn flooding.
  • Water leaking into your basement or crawl space.
  • Soil erosion or muddy walkways.

Improper drainage can lead to major structural damage, especially if water begins to compromise your home’s foundation. Rather than waiting for these issues to get worse, trust our team to assess the situation and provide practical, cost-effective solutions tailored to your property.

Custom Drainage Options for Every Property

We offer a variety of drainage systems suited for different landscape features, water exposure levels, and design preferences. Each option is chosen based on your yard’s conditions and the volume of water typically experienced.

French Drains

These are a popular and highly effective option. French drains use a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel to redirect water away from critical areas. They’re ideal for properties with excess surface water.

Dry Creek Beds

Perfect for properties with low slope or shady areas, dry creek beds create a natural-looking channel that handles large volumes of water while preventing soil movement.

Channel Drains

Made with long grates and trench systems, channel drains are great for keeping driveways, patios, and paved areas free from standing water.

Downspout Drains

These connect directly to your gutter system and extend underground to move water away from the base of your home. They’re a simple yet effective way to reduce foundation damage.

Choosing the right solution can improve both the functionality and the appearance of your outdoor space. At Conserva Irrigation of Hampton Roads, we walk you through each option, ensuring you select the most appropriate system for your property.

Environmentally Responsible and Locally Focused

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every installation is customized to address your property’s unique challenges while aligning with Norfolk’s green initiatives. Our goal is not only to solve your drainage issues but also to help you protect the local environment.

Types of Drainage Solutions

  • French Drains

    French drains are rock-covered trenches, that lead water into a pipe. That pipe then redirects the water to a more desireable location, or disperses it so there is no standing water in your yard.

  • Dry Creek Beds

    Dry creek beds are a great solution for properties with shaded areas and little slope. They move large amounts of water, cut down on erosion, and can prevent soil movement, while also being effective and aesthetically pleasing. Conserva offers design options that range from simple to elaborate.

  • Channel Drains

    Channel drains are commonly uses to keep driveways, patios, and pool decks free of standing water. These drains include long grates that collect water and move it through underground trenching.

  • Downspout Drains
