Why Choose Our Drainage Correction?
Why drainage matters for your foundation
Water that collects against a foundation softens clay soil. When the soil dries it shrinks, and that swelling and shrinking moves foundations. Keeping water flowing away from the house is the cheapest way to protect it.
Drainage work we do
We regrade and re-slope the ground so it falls away from the house. We also add gutters and downspout extensions, install French drains and swales, run sump pump discharge lines, and stabilize soil where needed.

Why drainage correction matters in Central Missouri
Most foundation problems start with water. Our heavy clay soil swells when it is soaked and shrinks as it dries, and that cycle pushes and pulls on footings and walls. When gutters dump water beside the house or the yard slopes toward it, the soil stays wet and the movement gets worse. Good drainage correction keeps water moving away so the ground around your foundation stays steadier through every season.
Signs you have a drainage problem
Look for pooling water after rain, soil washing away from the foundation, downspouts that empty close to the walls, damp or musty crawl spaces, and mulch beds that hold water against the house. Any of these can lead to cracks, sticking doors and uneven floors if they go uncorrected.
What drainage correction involves
We walk the property, check how water leaves the roof and the yard, and then fix the path it takes. That can mean regrading the soil so it slopes away from the house, extending downspouts, adding drain lines where water collects, and tying everything into a safe discharge point. You get a written estimate before work starts.
