Why Drainage Matters in South Louisiana
Drainage issues can cause major long-term problems such as:
​
Standing water in yards
Foundation and slab damage
Soil erosion
Driveway washouts
Street or property flooding
Pest and mosquito breeding
Damage to landscaping
Water pooling under structures
Quality drainage protects your home, increases property value, and prevents costly repairs.

Our Drainage Installation Process
1. Property Assessment & Elevation Review
We evaluate water flow, soil type, low areas, and where water must move.
​
2. System Design & Planning
We create a drainage plan based on elevations, proper fall, pipe sizing, and long-term performance.
​
3. Excavation & Pipe Installation
Using Komatsu equipment, we excavate, set culverts, connect drainage lines, and compact soil properly.
​
4. Ditch, Swale, or Basin Shaping
We form clean, precise channels to move water safely away from structures and problem areas.
​
5. Backfilling, Covering & Compaction
We confirm positive drainage and verify that water moves the way it should.
