Identify what is driving the problem.
Roof runoff, hillside flow, groundwater, compacted soil, failed pipe, and poor surface grade can create similar wet areas but require different corrections.

Drainage & French Drain Installation in Warren County
A French drain is one drainage tool, not a universal answer. GradeCraft starts by identifying where water comes from, how it moves, what it affects, and where it can discharge.
A more complete scope
Connect the correction to the property.
Confirm the source and a practical outlet first, then determine whether a French drain, surface grading, collection point, solid pipe, or combined scope fits the property.
- The water source and the conditions that trigger it
- A practical outlet that does not create another problem
- Whether surface grading belongs in the correction
Helpful project evidence
Show the conditions a description cannot.
Photos taken during or immediately after rain should show the water source, flow path, collection area, affected structures or driveways, and possible outlet.
