Drainage & Grading
Moving water away from your foundation and solving standing-water problems.
Educational content only — not professional advice. Confirm current regulatory, permitting and watering requirements with official sources before acting.
Good drainage protects your home and yard. In Northern Nevada's hard, slow-draining soils, surface grading often matters more than percolation.
Grade Away From the Home
Surface water should flow away from foundations. Even a gentle slope prevents pooling near the structure.
Move Water With Purpose
French drains, dry creek beds and surface drains move water where you want it. Dry creek beds double as a design feature.
Solve at the Source
Downspout and slope runoff are common causes of wet spots. Address the source rather than just the symptom.
Verify With Official Sources
- Tying into public storm systems requires permits and licensed work — confirm with the local jurisdiction.
