Soggy yard, wet crawlspace, water at the foundation? We design and build drainage systems that move the water where it belongs — permanently.

Chattanooga-based, built for ridge-and-valley clay
One specialty: getting water off your property before it costs you a foundation, a wall, or a yard.
Fabric-wrapped, properly sloped systems that intercept subsurface water and keep it moving for decades.

Learn more →Buried extensions that carry roof water far from the foundation — the cheapest structural protection there is.
Learn more →Ponding, gullies, and washouts fixed at the source — velocity control, armored channels, and real outlets.
Learn more →Chattanooga sits in ridge-and-valley country: Signal Mountain, Lookout Mountain, and Missionary Ridge shed enormous volumes of stormwater onto the neighborhoods below, across clay soils that absorb almost none of it. Every lot in Hamilton County is somewhere in that water's path — receiving it from uphill, holding it in the flats, or passing it along to a foundation that was never meant to be a dam. Add the region's storm pattern — soaking winter fronts and violent summer downpours — and drainage stops being a landscaping nicety and becomes the difference between a dry crawlspace and a five-figure repair.
The symptoms are familiar to half the homeowners in this valley: the yard that squishes into May, the musty crawlspace smell every spring, mulch washing into the street, gullies deepening on the slope, puddles hugging the house while the lawn's center stays dry. They're all the same disease — water arriving faster than it leaves — presenting in different rooms.
The cure is routing, engineered as one system. Grade the surface so water starts moving. Intercept sheet flow in swales before it accelerates. Capture what concentrates in basins and French drains. And above all, design the discharge first: every foot of pipe in the ground is worthless if the water has nowhere to go at the end of it. That discharge-first design is the difference between drainage that works in a February gully-washer and the buried-hose installs that fail in two seasons.
Assessments are free, quotes are fixed and written, and if the honest fix is a cheap regrade instead of an expensive system, that's what we'll tell you. Water is predictable — that's the good news. It always does the same thing. So do we.
Straight answers to what Chattanooga homeowners ask most.
Most residential systems run $2,000–$8,000 depending on length, depth, and discharge distance. Buried downspout systems start around $800. Assessments and fixed written quotes are free.
You're likely receiving hillside runoff over clay that won't absorb it. The fix is routing — grading, swales, capture, and a working discharge — designed as one system, not bought as one gadget.
Often yes, when the moisture is surface and subsurface water reaching the foundation — an exterior drain plus corrected downspouts intercepts it. If your moisture has a different source, the free assessment will say so before you spend anything.
Mildly, briefly. Most projects run 1–3 days; sod gets cut and returned, beds go back, and the visible result is a small pop-up emitter or a stone channel that looks intentional.
Yes — interception swales, armored channels, rip-rap at outlets, and slope restoration are half our work. See standing water & erosion.
That's literally the assessment: we walk the water across your property, ideally while it's raining, and give you the honest read — even when the answer is a $400 fix.
