Yard Drainage

Water in your yard doesn’t just kill grass — it can undermine your foundation, create mosquito breeding grounds, and slowly force moisture into your basement. At Sump Daddy, we provide custom yard drainage solutions designed to move water away from your home and keep your property dry, safe, and usable.

Solution-Based Drainage Design

We don’t just install pipes — we solve problems. Every yard is different, and so is every drainage plan. Our team evaluates how water moves across your property and designs a system using the right combination of techniques, which may include:

  • Buried Drainage Pipe – Solid or perforated pipe systems that capture and redirect water
  • Catch Basins & Surface Drains – Grated inlets set at low points to collect runoff
  • Dry Wells – Underground holding tanks that collect and slowly disperse excess water
  • Drainage Swales – Gently sloped channels that guide surface water away from structures
  • Regrading & Soil Shaping – Correcting negative slope or low spots around the home
  • Pop-Up Emitters – Discreet outlets that release water from buried lines
  • Downspout Extensions – Connecting roof runoff to the overall system

We’ll use one or several of these solutions depending on your site, soil, slope, and water volume.

Why This Matters

Poor yard drainage can lead to:

  • Foundation cracks from saturated soil
  • Water intrusion into basements and crawlspaces
  • Washed-out landscaping and muddy lawns
  • Standing water that attracts pests or causes mold
  • Premature wear on patios, driveways, and retaining walls

If your yard holds water after every storm — or even for days after — it’s a sign your site needs professional attention.

Not Just a Price List — A Diagnosis

You don’t call us just to price out a swale or a pipe. You call because something’s wrong, and you want it fixed. That’s how we approach every yard drainage project — as a tailored solution to a real problem.

We offer free inspections, provide honest feedback, and build drainage systems that are functional, discreet, and designed to last.

Local Experience Matters

We’ve designed drainage systems for properties in Manor Park, Takoma, Wheaton, Chevy Chase, Langley Park, and dozens of other neighborhoods where compact lots and clay soils make standing water a serious concern.

We understand how water behaves in this region — and how to control it. (301) 783-0033. customerservice@sumpdaddy.com.
