DRAINAGE PROBLEMS?
Professional drainage design and installation
Who We Are
Our founder, Nick Sagnella, has been designing and installing exterior drainage systems since 2012 in the context of lawn renovations. Through his experience, he realized there is a need for more honesty and transparency in the drainage industry. Due to drainage being mostly concealed underground, there is ample opportunity for shortcuts to be taken. We won’t take shortcuts and will treat your property as we would our own and we'll prove it to you by taking providing video documentation of your project.

We believe the best first line defense against water is before it gets to your home. Water that never makes it to your home isn’t a threat.
French Drains
These are the most versatile and effective drain systems available when properly designed and installed. The biggest advantage of a French drain is its ability to capture surface water and subsurface water. They are ideal for protecting your foundation and draining saturated soils. We “burrito-wrap” your system with DOT approved nonwoven geotextile filter fabric to ensure it lasts for decades without maintenance. The result is a system completely sealed in filter fabric to allow water to freely flow but keep out soil and debris. We’re proud to serve our customers with solutions using French Drains in Charlotte, NC
Lawn Drains
These systems are designed for handling surface water. Most commonly, your gutter downspouts will be tied into a storm drain system. These drains should never be tied into a French drain because they are designed to carry debris (such as roof shingle gravel or small leaves) which would clog a French drain system. Storm drains can be effectively constructed with PVC and corrugated pipe. Either can be periodically cleaned if properly constructed.
Other Services We Offer
Sump Systems
In flat properties without the ability to utilize gravity for evacuating excess water, a sump system may be needed. This system is essentially a large underground tank with a pump that pushes water to where we need to take it. Due to the large amounts of water these systems manage, they are larger than crawl space sump systems. When properly designed, these systems will last decades with minimal maintenance.
Gutter Extensions
Gutters do a great job of managing water from your roof, but they drop all the water right next to your home’s foundation. Gutter downspout extensions neatly move water to a safe distance from your home’s foundation.
Corrective Grading
Sometimes excess water can be effectively managed with grading to direct water to an area off property or where it won’t cause harm. We’ll use existing soil where possible to adjust the soil surface and direct water to where we need it to go.
