Water Moved Where It Belongs.
Catch basins, French drains, culverts and regrading for driveways, landscapes and developed sites across Rockland, Prescott-Russell and Ottawa. Existing grades, water movement and outlet conditions are reviewed together before the system is defined.
Effective drainage starts with the path of the water. The source, low point and outlet are planned as one system.
What Drainage Work Covers
Catch Basins
Surface water collected at the low point of a driveway or lot and carried to an outlet that can take it.
French Drains
Perforated pipe in clean stone to intercept subsurface water before it reaches a foundation, a driveway base or a lawn.
Culverts
New and replacement culverts under rural entrances, sized for the ditch and installed to the road authority’s requirements.
Regrading & Swales
Surfaces reshaped to direct water away from structures and hardscape toward an appropriate outlet, with surrounding grades and property boundaries considered.
Downspout & Sump Lines
Roof and sump water piped to daylight or to a basin instead of onto the driveway or against the wall.
Drainage with Paving
Drainage integrated into driveway, interlock and retaining wall work so the finished surface and drainage system perform together.
Assess the Site
Water sources, low points and possible outlets are reviewed on site, during wet conditions where possible, before the drainage system is defined.
What Shapes an Effective Drainage System
Soil conditions influence how water moves through the site. Drainage is sized and positioned around the conditions found on the property.
The outlet sets the design. Ditch, storm connection, dry well or daylight is confirmed before pipe is ordered.
Seasonal groundwater, frost and spring runoff are considered so the system is planned for changing conditions throughout the year.
Where drainage meets paving or walls, it is built first and the finish goes over it.
Questions About Drainage Work
The approach depends on surface grades, subsurface water and available outlets. PB reviews the property to determine whether regrading, a French drain, a catch basin or a coordinated system is appropriate.
Cost depends on basin depth, outlet conditions, pipe length and site access. Project pricing is established after the drainage conditions and required scope are reviewed on site.
Yes. New and replacement culverts under entrances across Prescott-Russell, sized for the ditch and set to the road authority’s requirements.
Yes. A trench drain at the garage, a catch basin at the low point or a regraded edge can be cut into an existing driveway and the asphalt or interlock restored around it.
