Drainage and grading in Cedar Rapids

Drainage and grading in Cedar Rapids that move water away from the house, the patio, and the low spots in the yard.

Drainage and grading, done properly

Standing water and a wet basement usually come down to grade. We regrade problem areas, install French drains and catch basins, and route downspouts so water runs where it should instead of pooling against the foundation. On hardscape projects we build the drainage in from the start.

Our drainage process

We follow the water first, then fix the grade, so the problem does not come back next spring.

Consultation

We look at where the water goes in a hard rain, take grades, and put together a plan and a written estimate.

Execution

We regrade, install drains, and route the water to a proper outlet. One crew lead runs the job and the site is cleaned up daily.

Review

We walk the finished work with you and, when we can, check it in the next real rain.

Drainage and grading FAQs

Can you fix water pooling in my yard or against the house?

Usually, yes. The fix depends on where the water comes from and where it can go, which is what we work out on the site visit before we quote anything.

What does it cost?

Drainage work is priced after we see the site, since the fix depends on the grade and the run to a good outlet. Estimates are free.

How soon can you start?

We schedule drainage work through the season, weather permitting. We set a start date once the estimate is approved.
