Drainage Solutions Photo Album: Solution to Pooling Water in Weeki Wachee, FL

Jim S. started experiencing significant flooding issues at his Weeki Wachee, Florida home after a new house was built right next door. He noticed his foundation's footer was starting to show, and large gaps were appearing around his home. Worried the problem could worsen over time, he decided to call us at LRE Foundation Repair. Our specialist completed a full inspection of the property, determining that poor grading issues, faulty downspouts, and a small channel drain were not sufficient to handle the amount of rainwater surrounding this property. We designed a custom drainage system to divert the flow of heavy water away from the home's foundation and out into the yard. We carefully excavated the areas where drainage pipes and the channel drain would be installed. Downspouts were attached to pipes that would be buried underground, and a larger channel drain was installed in the pool deck. Once the project was complete, the homeowner was impressed with the new drainage system and happy to never worry about flooding waters again.

Failing Channel Drain

These homeowners were experiencing a lot of issues because water was pooling up around the deck and home. This channel drain wasn't doing the trick and a new one was required.

Erosion Around Foundation

With faulty downspouts and poor grading, these homeowners were suffering from erosion around the right side of their home.

Insufficient Drainage Around Home

These homeowners needed a whole new drainage system that would properly divert the flow of water away from their foundation and out into the yard.

New Channel Drain Installation

We started working on the interior pool deck by installing a new channel drain, which was bigger and more successful at moving water away from the deck.

LRE Creates the New Channel Drain

Our team carefully measures, levels, and installs a new channel drain that will divert the flow of water away from the pool deck and out into the yard.

New Downspout Installed

A new downspout was also needed with this drainage system repair job. The old downspout was not nearly long enough to move water away from the home, causing flooding issues.

Downspout Drainage Repair

We carefully installed underground pipe that flows under concrete curbing, utility lines, or other necessary items.

Underground Pipe Installed

Our team dug trenches around the perimeter of this home where the underground pipe would be installed. These pipes carry the flooding waters away from the foundation and out into the yard where it belongs.

New Drainage System Completed

Once this drainage system was completed, we leave the job site better than we found it. All materials are buried underground and landscaping is replaced.
