Professional Drainage Solutions in Northern Virginia

At ProDrainage, we offer a full range of drainage systems designed to protect your home and yard from water damage. Our solutions include French drains, which collect and redirect subsurface water; dry creek beds that provide natural-looking stormwater management; in-ground downspouts that carry roof runoff away from the foundation; sump pump discharge lines that move water away from basements; and culvert drains for larger volumes or driveway crossings. Each system is carefully selected based on your property's layout, soil conditions, slope, and the severity of the drainage issue. We don't offer one-size-fits-all solutions—instead, we develop custom plans to ensure long-term success. Whether you're dealing with standing water, erosion, or water damage near your home, we’ll walk the site, clearly explain your options, and deliver a solution that works. All our installations are handled by trained professionals using durable materials for lasting performance, even in Northern Virginia’s toughest weather.

Several signs indicate you may need professional drainage work. One of the most common is standing water in your yard after rainfall. This can lead to soggy grass, mosquito breeding, and soil erosion. Water pooling near your foundation, garage, or basement is another red flag—it increases the risk of structural damage, mold, and musty odors inside your home. Other symptoms include soil washing away, lawn fungus, uneven grass growth, or visible erosion around hardscapes or walkways. If you notice water leaking into your basement or crawl space, or if your mulch and flowerbeds are routinely displaced after storms, it's time to call in a specialist. Even if you’re unsure, we’re happy to inspect your property and give an honest assessment. Our no-obligation walkthroughs help identify problems early, saving you money on major repairs down the road. With drainage, the sooner you act, the better protected your property will be.

Yes—flat or poorly graded yards are among the most common causes of drainage problems, and we specialize in correcting them. When water has nowhere to flow, it tends to pool in low-lying areas or seep into the wrong places, potentially damaging your foundation, lawn, or nearby structures. At ProDrainage, we assess your property’s current grade and design a solution that restores proper runoff direction. This may involve regrading the yard, installing subsurface drainage systems such as French drains, or utilizing gravity-fed systems that redirect water to safer areas. We also employ creative approaches, such as dry creek beds and catch basins, to manage surface water on flat terrain. Even with challenging topography or clay-heavy soils common in Northern Virginia, we’ll develop a system that improves both water flow and yard usability. Our goal is to leave you with a dry, functional space—without major excavation or disruption to your landscaping.

Yes, managing roof runoff through gutters and downspouts is a key part of any effective drainage plan. We specialize in connecting your existing gutter system to in-ground downspout extensions that carry water safely away from your home’s foundation. Without proper routing, runoff from your roof can pool near the house, seep into basements, or cause soil erosion that threatens patios and walkways. We assess your home’s layout to determine the best discharge points—often tying into French drains or creating daylight exits away from sensitive areas. All piping is installed with proper pitch and buried discreetly for a clean look and long-lasting performance. We also correct gutter issues that contribute to overflow, like clogged spouts or improper slope. Whether you’re adding drainage to new construction or retrofitting an older system, we ensure your roof water is handled efficiently and safely—because every drainage plan starts at the top.

At ProDrainage, we take great care to minimize disruption to your yard during drainage installation. While some digging is necessary—especially for subsurface systems like French drains or buried downspouts—we use compact equipment, work efficiently, and protect existing landscaping wherever possible. Before we begin, we will walk the property with you, explain what work will be done, and flag any plants or areas you would like to preserve. Once the system is installed, we backfill the trenches, compact the soil, and thoroughly clean the site. In many cases, we also provide light restoration services such as sod patching or mulch replacement to help your yard recover quickly. Most homeowners are surprised by how tidy our work is—and how quickly their lawn returns to its normal state. Our crews are respectful, detail-oriented, and committed to leaving your property better than we found it. The short-term work is worth the long-term peace of mind.
