Drainage Solutions Before & After Photos

Jeff from Ormond Beach, Florida, was in need of a more effective drainage solution around his home after experiencing heavy flooding following severe rainstorms. He called LRE Foundation Repair and scheduled a free inspection with one of our Design Specialists to help provide a solution. After carefully evaluating the existing drainage system at Jeff's home, our specialist designed a plan to install a new system, which included French drains around the perimeter of the property. The plan also involved connecting the gutter downspouts directly to the underground drainage system to prevent the water from dispersing around the foundation. The water collected by the French drains and downspouts would then be diverted out to a pop-up relief drain away from the property through an underground drainage pipe. Once Jeff approved the plan, our team installed the system, carefully concealing it below the surface. Now, with this enhanced drainage system in place, Jeff can be confident that his home is better protected from potential flood damage.

In Port Orange, Florida, Paul’s pool deck required a more effective drainage solution after he noticed water pooling in the area following heavy rainstorms. After reaching out to us at LRE Foundation Repair to schedule a free appointment, we sent one of our expert Design Specialists to conduct a thorough inspection of his pool deck. Our specialist determined that the pre-existing channel drain embedded in the pool deck’s concrete had become damaged over time and no longer provided sufficient drainage.

A plan was created to implement a new drainage solution, which involved replacing the old channel drain with an enhanced version designed to collect and divert excess rainwater to a pop-up relief drain located away from the pool deck. After presenting this new solution to Paul, our production team quickly began the installation process, carefully removing and replacing the old channel drain with the more effective drainage system. Paul’s pool deck is now equipped with the right solution to prevent water from pooling, effectively protecting both the concrete and the foundation of his home.

Gary, troubled by increasing concerns about water pooling around his driveway and foundation, sought the assistance of LRE Foundation Repair for a solution. An LRE Design Specialist visited his home in Inverness, Florida, for a full-home inspection and devised a plan to install an effective drainage system to route water away from his home. The LRE team installed a channel drain in the driveway designed to collect excess rainwater and direct it to a pop-up relief drain located at the far end of the property. Upon completing the installation, Gary felt relieved to have an effective solution in place, safeguarding his home from potential flood damage.

Kathryn faced a persistent issue with rainwater flooding around the back door leading to the pool deck in her Ocoee, Florida, home. The channel drain that was initially installed in the pool deck was no longer functioning properly, prompting Kathryn to seek a more effective solution. She reached out to LRE Foundation Repair, where one of our Design Specialists developed a plan to install a new and highly effective drainage system. The LRE team installed a more robust channel drain and water routing system to prevent rainwater from pooling around the deck. With the flooding issue resolved, Kathryn no longer has to worry about the threat of water damage to her home's foundation.

In Groveland, Florida, Andrew sought an effective drainage solution for his home after experiencing significant flooding around the perimeter of his foundation following heavy rainstorms. He reached out to LRE Foundation Repair, and we sent one of our expert Design Specialists to assess the situation. After a thorough inspection, our specialist recommended installing an EZ Flow French drain around the home's perimeter. This system collects and diverts pooling rainwater through an underground drainage pipe to a pop-up relief drain located away from the property. Additionally, the downspouts from the roof’s gutter system will be directly connected to the underground drainage system to improve water diversion and prevent rainwater from pooling around the foundation's base. Once Andrew approved the plan, our team installed the new drainage system, effectively addressing the water pooling issue. With this system in place, Andrew can now feel confident that his foundation is protected against potential water damage.
