37 YEARS EXPERIENCE Engineered Drainage Systems And Foundation Waterproofing For Residential, Commercial, And Industrial Applications. Every drainage system we Install is backed by a three year ironclad warranty no questions asked

"I would give Drainage Plus 10 stars if I could! Troy was recommended to me by a very reputable civil engineer in this area and it is easy to see why- their work is excellent, their team is extremely hard working, and their prices are very fair and reasonable. Troy always responded quickly and courteously to all my questions and the whole team went above and beyond on my drainage project (they built retaining walls, installed drainage pipes and dug drainage ditches). I would highly recommend Drainage Plus to anyone in need of drainage solutions."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

Using a drill to bore holes in the stump's center speeds up the process, whatever method you use. If you don’t have a drill, you can still chainsaw or chisel the stump to make it hollow; it will just take more elbow grease and time. Steer clear of burning the stump to hollow it if you can’t drill some holes in it first. Otherwise, getting it to light, stay lit, and burn right through will be a challenge.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.
