DRAINAGE SOLUTIONS
Drainage Services in Shreveport
Our services give you control over how water moves through and around your property, removing it where it causes damage and sending it somewhere safe. Here is what we install and service.
French Drains
Perforated pipe bedded in gravel captures and redirects subsurface water. Ideal for chronically saturated soil, soggy yards, and low areas, with minimal visual impact once covered.
Yard & Surface Grading
Corrects flat or negatively sloped areas that send water toward your home, and reshapes the soil so runoff moves away from structures.
Catch Basins
Installed at low points to capture surface water quickly and connect to underground pipe. Works well near driveways, patios, and hard surfaces.
Downspout Extensions
Carry roof runoff away from your foundation instead of letting it pool beside the house.
Gutter Cleaning & Downspouts
Clogged gutters overflow and dump roof water at your foundation. Regular cleaning and downspout flushing keep roof water flowing into your drainage system.
Standing Water & Erosion
Chronically wet areas, erosion channels, and bare patches after storms trace back to where water goes. We find the cause and fix it.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR
Signs You Need a Drainage Solution
Most drainage problems announce themselves long before they damage a foundation. If you see any of these around your property, it is worth having someone look at how water moves across your yard.
Assess first. Then recommend.
We study how water moves across your property before we propose any system.
Water Pools in the Same Spots
If the same low spots fill after every rain, water has nowhere to go and needs a path out.
Soggy, Spongy Soil
Soil that never fully dries out points to subsurface water that a French drain can capture.
Erosion & Bare Patches
Erosion channels and bare patches after storms show water moving too fast across the surface.
Water Near Your Foundation
Water collecting near your foundation, slab, or crawl space is the problem to fix first.
Mosquitoes From Standing Water
Persistent mosquito problems often trace back to standing water on the property.
Overflowing Gutters
Gutters that overflow dump roof water beside the house. Gutter cleaning and downspout care restore the flow.
Water Needs a Path, Not Just a Pipe
A French drain or catch basin only works if water can reach it and has somewhere safe to go. We look at the whole picture, including slope, soil, gutters, downspouts, and the discharge point, so the system works for the way water actually moves on your property.

Which Drainage Solution Fits Your Yard?
Different water problems need different fixes. Here is how we match the solution to what your property is actually doing.
01 · French Drain
Large Soggy Areas
Best for saturated soil and big wet areas where water sits below the surface.
02 · Catch Basin
Concentrated Low Points
Best where water pools quickly after rain, such as near driveways, patios, and hard surfaces.
03 · Grading
Water Running Toward Your Home
Best when the yard is flat or slopes the wrong way. Grading also helps other drainage systems perform better.
04 · Gutters & Downspouts
Roof Water at the Foundation
Best when overflow from the roofline is the source. Gutter cleaning and downspout extensions send roof water away from the house.
05 · Combined System
Both, Working Together
Many yards need more than one fix. We often combine drains, basins, and grading into one complete system.
Why Drainage Problems Don’t Fix Themselves in Shreveport
Northwest Louisiana’s heavy annual rainfall and clay-heavy soil mean water lingers long after a storm. Clay holds excess water, which leads to standing water and moisture around foundations, and without a path out, every rain adds to the problem. A properly designed system works passively, so you are not watching low spots flood after each storm.
01 · Rainfall
Heavy Rain, Slow Drainage
Heavy annual rainfall gives water more chances to collect than clay soil can absorb.
02 · Clay Soil
Clay Holds Water
Clay soil holds water long after a storm, leading to standing water and moisture around your foundation.
03 · Damage
Standing Water Compounds
Standing water compounds damage with every rain, from soggy turf to foundation moisture.
04 · Roofline
Gutters Are Part of the System
Roof water adds to the load. Clean gutters and working downspouts keep it from overwhelming your yard.
05 · Protection
Protects Foundation, Lawn, and Landscaping
A properly designed drainage system protects your lawn, foundation, and landscaping at the same time.

Drainage FAQs
Straightforward answers for Shreveport homeowners dealing with standing water, soggy yards, and runoff.
It depends on where and how water is accumulating on your property. French drains work best for large soggy areas and saturated soil.

We will assess your yard and tell you exactly what fits your situation.
