Photo Album: Rainwater Drainage Solution in San Mateo, Florida
Sherry recently had a new concrete driveway poured around her pole barn at her property in San Mateo, Florida. However, issues arose when she discovered that the installers had incorrectly sloped the concrete. This resulted in rainwater pooling around the barn, prompting her to seek an effective drainage solution to address the issue. She contacted LRE Foundation Repair, and an expert Design Specialist visited her residence to conduct a free inspection. The specialist developed a plan to implement an effective drainage system to capture rainwater and redirect it away from the structure. The LRE team installed a channel drain along the side of the barn that will route the rainwater out to a pop-up relief drain at the far end of the property. Sherry’s barn is now protected against flooding damage, saving her from the hassle of future costly repairs.

Rainwater Drainage Pathway
A trench is excavated along the perimeter of the property to facilitate the installation of the drainage pipe that will redirect water away from the barn.
