Foundation Drainage and Waterproofing in Central Florida
Water is one of the biggest threats to a home’s foundation. In Central Florida, heavy summer storms and a high water table can leave the soil around your house soaked, which can lead to damp walls, mold, erosion and cracks. We deal with the cause so your home stays dry.
Good drainage is your home’s defense against water. Frequent heavy rain and a high water table give water plenty of chances to collect around a foundation. When drainage fails, the damage tends to show up slowly and cost a lot to fix. We solve water problems at the source to keep your home and your foundation dry.
Assessment and inspection
Before any work starts, we need to understand the problem. Pooling water, soil washing out, damp walls or slabs, and runoff aimed at the house can all point to different causes. We look at your property and recommend the right fix.
Careful work around your foundation
When drainage work happens next to the house, we take care not to damage existing concrete, walls or landscaping, and we keep the work area safe.
Waterproofing and sealing
Moving water away is only part of the answer. Where moisture is getting in through cracks or joints, sealing and waterproofing help keep it out, so the fix lasts.
Grading and drainage solutions
Depending on the property, the fix may include regrading the ground so it slopes away from the house, adding swales or drains to carry runoff away, and directing roof water away from the foundation. If you also have standing water in your yard, we can look at surface drainage as well.

Let’s discuss your project →Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before getting started.
How do I know if my foundation has a drainage problem?
Common signs are water pooling next to the house after rain, damp or musty smells, soil washing away from the foundation, and stains or cracks on walls and slabs.
Will drainage work stop my foundation from cracking?
Drainage helps keep the soil around your foundation from staying saturated, which removes one common cause of movement. Cracks that already exist may need their own repair.
Do you handle both drainage and waterproofing?
Yes. Foundation drainage and waterproofing is part of our foundation work, and we also handle grading and stormwater drainage as part of our site work.
Can you fix standing water in my yard?
Yes. Our site work includes grading, swales, culverts and stormwater drainage to move water away from your home and yard.
