Foundation Drainage

Houston’s frequent heavy rainfall, flat surfaces, and expansive soil make it especially vulnerable to drainage problems. Over time, poor drainage can cause soil erosion, foundation problems, and significant structural damage.

Our foundation drainage systems are designed to divert water, eliminate standing water, and preserve the stability of your home's foundation. From yard drainage improvements to complete french drain installation, we use a combination of surface drains, catch basins, perforated pipe, basin drains, and underground pipes to create a custom drainage system that fits your property’s layout and conditions.

Whether you're dealing with water pooling near your slab, crawl spaces with moisture, or drainage issues in low points around your home, we have the drainage solution you need.

Signs You May Need a Drainage System

Top Warning Signs of Foundational Damage
Corner of a house with white siding, standing water pooled against the foundation, surrounded by grassy area and pebbles.
Water Pooling After Rain
If you notice pooling water around your home’s perimeter or lawn after storms, it’s a sign your drainage systems aren’t doing their job.
Brick wall with a vertical crack in the center.
Cracks or Structural Issues
Persistent foundation problems, foundation repair needs, or structural issues often begin with drainage problems below the surface.
Wall with mold and mildew stains near floorboards, adjacent to patterned wallpaper.
Mold Growth or Musty Smells
Moisture buildup in crawl spaces or basements due to standing water is a red flag for poor drainage and a risk for mold growth.
Puddle in a grassy area after rain.
Eroded Soil or Damaged Landscaping
Soil erosion, displaced mulch, and sunken flower beds point to bad landscape drainage or ineffective gutter systems.

Risks of Ignoring Drainage Problems

Delaying action on drainage issues can lead to significant and expensive damage both inside and outside your home. Here’s what can happen when drainage is ignored:

A cracked white brick wall near a window.

Foundation and Structural Damage

Pooling water accelerates soil expansion and erosion, leading to shifting foundations and severe foundation cracks. Without intervention, these structural issues can require extensive and costly foundation repair.

Water Damage and Mold Growth

Excess surface water that isn’t properly diverted can seep into your basement or crawl spaces, causing standing water, mold growth, wood rot, and unhealthy indoor environments.
A cracked concrete driveway, wet from rain, leads to a garage surrounded by trees and grass.

Landscaping and Surface Problems

Ignoring poor drainage can lead to sinking landscaping, damaged gutter systems, and deteriorating flat surfaces like patios and walkways—all of which reduce your home’s curb appeal and increase maintenance costs.

Increasing Repair Costs Over Time

The longer you allow drainage problems to persist, the more expensive they become to fix. Installing a custom drainage system early, whether it’s French drains, trench drains, or surface drains, can prevent these major issues and extend your property’s longevity.
By understanding these causes, you can take proactive steps to maintain a strong foundation and protect your biggest investment.

Choosing the Right Drainage System

Not sure which drainage solution is best for your home? Use this guide to match common problems with the right fix:

Water pooling near the foundation after rain?

You may need French Drains to redirect groundwater and prevent soil saturation.

Runoff rushing across your driveway or patio?

Install Trench Drains to catch surface water and keep hardscapes safe and dry.

Large paved areas collecting standing water?

Surface or Channel Drains are ideal for wide, flat areas prone to puddling.

Basement or crawl space flooding during storms?

A Sump Pump System provides active water removal to protect below-grade spaces.

I could not be happier with this company. I had several companies come out to assess my home, and Valued Foundation Repair were the most thorough and honest out of them all. Every step of the project was communicated and pictures/videos were taken of the work being done. They even spotted a plumbing issue, and helped me with finding a plumbing professional to come fix the issue during the project's crunch time. I honestly cannot thank them enough for saving my home and our investment. I will definitely be spreading the word about these guys for anyone who needs foundation work done. A+++
