Drainage Solutions in the Quad Cities

Standing water in your yard? Wet basement? Sump pump running nonstop? We design and install drainage systems across the Quad Cities that move water where it needs to go and protect your foundation, your lawn, and your investment in your property.

Why Quad Cities yards have drainage problems: Iowa clay soil doesn't absorb water well. Compacted subsoil from new construction makes it worse. Lots are often graded toward houses instead of away from them. Downspouts dump water 18 inches from foundations. Add Davenport's hilly terrain and Mississippi river bluffs and you get yards that flood after every rain — and basements that flood not long after.

Drainage solutions we install: Regrading to direct water away from the house. French drains (perforated pipe in gravel-filled trenches) for subsurface water. Swales — shallow grassy channels that move water without looking like ditches. Catch basins and channel drains for paved areas. Downspout extensions tied into yard drainage. Sump pump discharge management. Permeable hardscape for new patios and walkways.

How we approach a Quad Cities drainage project: Site visit to walk the property and find where water comes from and where it goes (or doesn't). Diagnosis of the actual cause — sometimes a $400 downspout fix, sometimes a $10,000 regrade. Detailed scope and quote with no surprises. Crew handles excavation, pipe install, gravel, tie-ins, backfill, regrading, and reseeding. Test with water before we leave. Warranty.
