Downspouts and Surface Water Drainage Systems

Building gutter downspouts usually expel water at the building foundation. This scenario can result in flooding during the wet seasons here in Spokane and throughout the Inland Northwest. Landsite Development has a lot of experience in diverting this troublesome water.

Unmanaged surface water causes damage quickly because it seeks the easiest path to flow and pool. A drainage problem can often stem from a basement sump pump exiting too close to the foundation. Our experts have a high success rate solving many complicated surface water problems. Many different approaches can be taken. French drain systems are intricate drains to capture surface water. The system dispenses and delivers the water to a less problematic area of the property. Although this is a popular solution it is not always necessary. Our design consultants create solutions that in many cases are less expensive than a French drain system. For example changing the topography of the land to divert surface water. Installation of drain basins and drywells can solve a majority of residential drainage problems.

Underground yard drainage systems can be complex. Allow our landscape professionals to design and install a drainage solution for your project.
