Photo Album: New Channel Drain Installed in Winter Park, FL

After a hurricane hit close to their Winter Park, Florida home, Andrew and Stacy N. experienced flooding waters infiltrating their house. Concerned they did not have adequate protection for the next storm, they called us at LRE Foundation Repair for help. We examined the home carefully and determined that a lack of proper drainage was to blame, allowing heavy rains and moisture to easily access the home. Our specialist custom-designed a solution to divert water flow away from the foundation and out into the yard by installing a new trench drain, or channel drain, around the perimeter of the home. This drainage system is a surface solution that prevents water from entering the house by collecting it and moving it out into the yard. We carefully excavated the area, making room for an underground pipe and new drain hardware, which was permanently sealed with concrete. Once the new seamless trench drain was in place, it was exactly what these homeowners were looking for, giving them peace of mind for the next storm season.
