Standing water next to a slab on North Texas clay is a foundation problem waiting to be expensive.
Clay soil doesn't drain. Water that sits along the foundation swells the soil, then dries and shrinks it, and that cycle is what moves slabs. We solve it by getting water off the property: French drains, catch basins, surface drains, downspout extensions, and regrading so the yard actually falls away from the house.
Every drain we install gets a real outfall — daylighted at grade or tied to an approved discharge — because a drain that ends nowhere just relocates the puddle.
Every drainage & french drains job in Wylie and the surrounding DFW area covers:
Every line daylights or discharges somewhere legitimate. No pipe ending in a gravel hole.
Sometimes the fix is regrading, not pipe. We'll say so rather than sell you a drain.
Trenching is disruptive. Sod, mulch, and bed restoration is part of the job.
We're based at 690 Meadowbrook Dr in Wylie, TX 75098, and run routes through Wylie, Plano, Garland, McKinney, and the surrounding DFW communities.
North Texas clay has very low infiltration, so once it's saturated, water has nowhere to go but across the surface. The fix is drainage and grade, not soil amendment.
It scales with linear footage, depth, and how far the outfall is. We'll measure the run and give a written estimate within one business day.
Keeping water from pooling against the slab reduces the soil swell-and-shrink cycle that moves foundations. It's preventative — for existing structural movement, talk to a foundation engineer.
