Standing water, soggy lawns, erosion, and water near the foundation are not landscaping problems — they are drainage failures.
Ace 1 Drainage & Foundation Waterproofing designs and installs engineered yard drainage solutions that move, manage, and control stormwater the right way.
We don’t guess. We diagnose flow paths, soil conditions, elevations, and discharge points to permanently correct water issues.
Common Yard Drainage Problems We Solve
Standing water after rain
Saturated lawns and dead grass
Water flowing toward the foundation
Erosion and washouts
Downspouts dumping water at grade
Side yard and backyard flooding
Poor soil infiltration or clay soils
If water doesn’t have a controlled path, it will always find the structure.
Our Yard Drainage Solutions
Surface Drainage Systems
Used when water collects or flows across the yard.
Area drains & catch basins
Channel drains
Graded swales
Directional surface runoff control
Best for: flat yards, low spots, patios, and hardscapes.
Subsurface Drainage (French Drains)
Installed below grade to intercept groundwater.
Gravel-wrapped perforated pipe systems
ADS N-12 / HDPE storm pipe
Fabric-wrapped trenches to prevent soil migration
Best for: saturated soils, persistent wet areas, and slope pressure.
Infiltration & Exfiltration Systems
Designed to manage stormwater where discharge is limited.
Infiltration trenches
Exfiltration trenches
Underground stone reservoirs
Soil-based percolation systems
Best for: lots with no storm connection or strict runoff requirements.
Downspout Collection & Discharge
Downspouts are one of the biggest contributors to yard and foundation water issues.
Underground downspout piping
Solid HDPE discharge lines
Pop-up emitters or daylight outlets
Connection to infiltration or detention systems
Best for: foundation protection and yard preservation.
Yard Drainage Integrated with Foundation Protection
Yard drainage and foundation drainage must work together.
Foundation relief drains
Perimeter collection systems
Controlled discharge away from structures
This prevents hydrostatic pressure and long-term foundation damage.
How We Design the Right System
Every project begins with a site-specific evaluation, not a one-size-fits-all solution.
We assess:
Elevations & flow direction
Soil type
Rainfall runoff paths
Structure proximity
Discharge availability
Then we design a system that moves water away from your property safely and permanently.
