If water's pooling in your yard, running toward your foundation, eroding the landscaping, or killing your grass — you've got a drainage problem, and it's not going to fix itself. Corbett's Contracting installs drainage solutions across Wilmington, Ohio and surrounding areas that actually move water where it needs to go.
We diagnose the actual cause (most drainage issues aren't what the homeowner thinks they are), then build the right system to fix it — French drains, yard drains, downspout tie-ins, re-grading, swales, and foundation drainage. Done right, once, so you're not dealing with it again next spring.
Proper drainage protects your foundation, your driveway, your landscaping, and the long-term value of your property. Worth doing right.
Different problems call for different solutions — here's what we install.
Perforated pipe in a gravel trench that collects groundwater and moves it away from problem areas. The classic fix for saturated yards.
Surface drains at low spots that capture pooling water and tie into an underground pipe to get it out of the yard.
Underground pipe connecting your gutters to a proper discharge point — no more splash blocks dumping water against the foundation.
Regrading yards and slopes to move surface water away from structures. Often the cheapest and most effective fix.
Exterior footing drains, waterproofing tie-ins, and the perimeter drainage that keeps basements dry.
Shallow graded channels that redirect sheet water across a property. Cheap, effective, and invisible once landscaped.
If any of these are on your property, we can fix it.
Puddles that sit for days after rain — usually a combo of grading and soil compaction. Fixable.
Almost always a drainage issue outside the home, not inside. We find the surface cause.
Trenches, washed-out mulch, dirt on the sidewalk — downspouts dumping way too much water.
Slab settling is often a water problem. Fix the drainage before the next concrete job.
Constantly saturated areas kill turf. Drainage + grading brings the lawn back.
The most urgent one. Water against the foundation is the #1 cause of basement and structural problems.
