Drainage Solutions Photo Album: Flooding Garage Solution in Palatka, Florida

Ronald from Palatka, Florida, had plans to make his current home his permanent residence and needed to address the persistent issue of water intrusion in his garage. He reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for help with providing a solution, and we quickly scheduled an appointment for a free inspection with one of our Design Specialists. After looking over the situation, the specialist crafted an effective drainage solution to help remove the excess rainwater that had been pooling around Ronald’s garage. Our team installed a channel drain at the driveway's entrance to collect rainwater. The water will be diverted through an underground pipe and discharged through a pop-up relief drain away from the home. Following the completion of the work, Ronald was very pleased with the results and relieved that his garage would no longer be flooding.

Garage Flood Zone

The homeowner reported that this area in front of his garage had experienced heavy flooding, causing water to intrude inside.

Channel Drain Installation

The LRE team initiates the installation of the new channel drain by cutting out a precisely measured section of concrete in front of the entrance of the garage.

Channel Drain Pipe Installation

After the trench for the channel drain has been cut out of the concrete, the team proceeds to place the drainage pipe into its proper position.

Drainage Pipe Installation

The channel drain is connected to a drainage pipe that will direct the collected rainwater out to a pop-up relief drain at the far end of the property. Following the complete installation, this drainage pipe will be carefully concealed below the surface for a seamless appearance.
