Drainage Improvements

Moving Water Away From Where It Does Harm

Standing water does damage. It softens a drive, drowns the grass, and pools against a foundation or a shop. Often the cause is simple: a ditch clogged with growth and debris, or a low spot where water has nowhere to go. Drainage improvements address those causes.

We clean out clogged ditches, clear the growth and sediment that has built up, and work to direct water away from the places it is causing trouble. We look at the slope, the soil, and where the water comes from, then tell you what can help and what is outside what we do.

Drainage is not something every site can solve with a ditch. Some problems need an engineer, and some need a permit, especially near streams or property lines. We say so up front so you are not surprised. Where a simple fix works, we do it.

Questions

Drainage Improvements Questions, Answered

Have a question that is not here? Call or text 803-766-6061 and you will get a straight answer.

Can You Fix Every Drainage Problem?

No. Some problems come from the slope of the whole neighborhood or from a neighbor's property, and need an engineer. We tell you plainly what we can help with and what we cannot.

How Often Does A Ditch Need Cleaning?

It depends on how fast growth and sediment build up, and on the slope. Some ditches stay clear for years and others fill after a few seasons. We can look at yours and give you an idea.

Will Cleaning A Ditch Cause Problems For My Neighbor?

Water has to go somewhere, and where it goes matters. We check where the flow leads and tell you if sending more water that way could cause trouble.

Do I Need A Permit To Work On A Ditch?

It can be required near streams, wetlands, or shared drainage. Requirements vary by county and municipality. Check with the local office before work starts.
