Trench digging is used to create proper slope and drainage channels, especially in low-lying neighborhoods like Rivertown. This reduces hydrostatic pressure and keeps water out of basements during heavy rains or river surges.

Yes. Proper grading and strategic planting around your home’s foundation can channel rainwater away from windows and walls. By regrading soil and adding swales or rain gardens, we minimize pooling near window wells. Combined with sealing and caulking, this landscape approach helps prevent water from seeping in through window frames.
