why redirecting rain water away from your home or commercial building is important

By re-directing water away from your OKC Metro foundation, including concrete slabs and pier/beam structures, you can stop issues before they arise. When drainage is an issue, immediate action is warranted in order to keep keep excessive amounts of moisture from seeping under your foundation and doing irreparable damage. Water carries a large amount of weight and can actually create movement in your slab or pier and beam foundation. Rot can also occur around your home structure and mildew can form in the many crawl spaces found throughout the OKC Metro area. Further, expensive landscaping you’ve done in your yard can be damaged by unwanted rain water drainage issues as well.

do i need a FRENCH OR SUB-SURFACE DRAINS?

The type of drain you need is based on what type of trouble you’re having. If your drainage issue involves standing water with nowhere to go (which can be the case anywhere in the OKC Metro area given the incredible amount of rain we normally see here), you will more than likely be calling us about a surface drain, as opposed to a sub-surface one like a french drain. The primary purpose of a surface drain is to move a large volume of water quickly. As many multifamily, industrial and residential property owners know drainage issues in yards and around foundations require keeping rainwater from quickly overtaking your property in a flash flooding scenario like we see all too often.

French drains are installed directly next to house foundations. They’re needed due to large amounts of rainfall and flash flooding as well but french drains are deeper and deal with the rain water that gradually seeps below ground. Other types of drains include swales, berms and capillary drains.
