Drainage Solutions Photo Album: French Drain Installation in Brooksville, FL

A homeowner named Richard B. residing in Brooksville, Florida had concerns about water seeping through his screened-in lanai during rainfall. To address this problem and prevent further damage, he sought the assistance of LRE Foundation Repair. Upon inspection of the property, it was discovered that the current drainage system was faulty, causing the flooding issues. The downspouts and existing drains were positioned too close to the home, resulting in water accumulation near the foundation. LRE came up with a solution to design a new French drainage system to divert water further out into the yard, effectively eliminating erosion and flooding concerns. Upon completion of the work and cleanup, Richard was ecstatic with the outcome and relieved to know that future water damage was no longer a worry.
