The homeowners in Elkton, FL were dealing with improper water flow around their property. Roof runoff and surface water were pooling near the driveway and front yard, creating erosion risks and pushing excess water toward the foundation. To solve this, our team planned a new buried discharge line to carry water safely from the downspouts to the roadside ditch.
Once the drainage issues were identified, our crew began trenching along the driveway and front yard to install the new discharge line. Durable piping was carefully placed underground, creating a direct path for water to flow away from the downspouts. By cutting through the driveway edge and tying into the system, the team ensured proper grading and alignment, setting the foundation for a long-lasting solution.
The next step was connecting the home's downspouts directly into the new discharge line. Here, you can see the buried pipe secured in place at the foundation, ensuring roof runoff is immediately redirected underground instead of pooling near the house. By channeling water into the new system, the crew eliminated one of the main sources of excess moisture around the foundation and landscaping.
With the piping laid in place, our crew sealed and reinforced each connection to ensure a watertight fit. Here, the technician is carefully fastening the discharge line where it crosses under the driveway edge, preventing leaks or shifting over time. This step is critical for durability, guaranteeing that water flows smoothly through the system without weakening the soil or concrete above.
The project was completed with the discharge line extended all the way to the roadside ditch. Here, water collected from the roof and foundation is safely carried out through the underground piping and released far from the home. A clean gravel finish helps prevent erosion around the outlet, blending the system neatly into the landscape. This final step ensures the entire drainage system works seamlessly, protecting the Elkton, FL property from water damage and foundation stress.
