Photo Album: Solution for Driveway Flooding in Apollo Beach, FL
David C. of Apollo Beach, FL, contacted LRE Foundation Repair because he was concerned about water collecting at the base of the driveway to his waterfront home. Given the frequency of Florida rainstorms, this turned out to be an annual issue. An LRE Design Specialist came out to assess the situation and designed a custom solution to help drain the excess rainwater from David’s driveway. As the home sits right in front of a canal, a plan was put in place to install a drainage solution to route the excess water out into the gulf. The LRE team installed an exterior drainage system that included a catch basin positioned at the driveway's base to gather the excess water. When there is enough water collected, it is then channeled through an underground piping system to the seawall behind the house. David is pleased that he no longer has to worry about extra water pooling in his driveway and causing damage to his concrete and yard.
Excess Water Pooling
Inadequate drainage can lead to rainwater pooling, which can result in landscape and foundation damage as well as the buildup of harmful bacteria.
Total Landscape Flood Protection
Covering the entire yard of the home, this drainage system effectively channels excess rainwater towards the canal situated behind the property.
Subsurface Drainage Trench
The drainage pipe is carefully positioned just beneath the yard's surface within a trench, ensuring optimal routing of rainwater.
Drainage System Installation
The drainage system installation is almost complete. Without sufficient exterior drainage systems, yards are prone to flooding, resulting in significant property damage.
Complete Drainage System
The successful installation of the underground drainage system, along with the placement of the catch basin, guarantees effective and efficient yard drainage.
