Water at the House

When the Problem Touches the Slab or the Concrete

Foundation Perimeter Drainage

Keeping water and soil off the slab edge. Not foundation repair.

Around the slab

Driveway and Patio Drainage

Channel drains and fixes where flatwork sends water to the garage or the house.

Driveways and patios

Sent elsewhere, on purpose

Sprinkler repairs and reroutes go to a TCEQ-licensed irrigator. Drains that tie into the house sewer go to a licensed plumber. A slab that has cracked or moved goes to a foundation repair company. Gutter replacement is a roofing job; the downspout page here covers only where the water goes once it leaves the gutter.
