Exterior Drainage Solutions Atlanta

EXTERIOR DRAINAGE

Protect Your Foundation With Proper Drainage

Proper exterior drainage is your first line of defense against foundation damage and water intrusion. Without it, rainwater pools around your foundation, seeps into crawlspaces and basements, and erodes the soil that supports your home.

APS Waterproofing designs and installs exterior drainage systems tailored to your property's grading, soil conditions, and water flow patterns. We solve drainage problems at the source so water never reaches your foundation.

HOW TO KNOW

Signs You Have a Drainage Problem

Standing Water

Puddles that linger in your yard after rain indicate that water is not draining properly and may be pooling near your foundation.

Basement Flooding

Water entering your basement during or after storms is a clear sign that your exterior drainage is failing to redirect water away from your home.

Foundation Cracks

Cracks in your foundation walls or slab can result from hydrostatic pressure caused by water-saturated soil pressing against your foundation.

Soggy Lawn

Persistently wet or muddy areas in your yard, especially near the house, suggest that water is not flowing away from the structure as it should.

OUR SOLUTIONS

Drainage Systems We Install

French Drains

Subsurface drainage systems that collect and redirect groundwater away from your foundation through perforated pipes surrounded by gravel, preventing water from reaching your basement or crawlspace.

Downspout Extensions

We extend your gutter downspouts to carry roof runoff well away from the foundation, preventing the concentrated water flow that causes erosion and basement leaks.

Sump Pumps

Reliable sump pump systems that actively remove water collected by interior or exterior drainage, pumping it safely away from your home even during heavy storms.

Grading & Slope Solutions

We re-grade the soil around your foundation to create proper slopes that direct surface water away from your home, addressing one of the most common causes of water intrusion.

WHY IT MATTERS

The Value of Proper Drainage

Protects Your Foundation

Effective drainage prevents water from accumulating against your foundation, reducing hydrostatic pressure and the risk of cracks, shifting, and structural failure.

Prevents Costly Water Damage

Addressing drainage proactively saves you from expensive basement flooding, mold remediation, and foundation repair costs down the road.

Increases Property Value

A well-drained property with a dry basement and solid foundation is a significant selling point that increases your home's market value and buyer confidence.
