Drainage Solutions in Old Lyme

Water pooling near your foundation, soggy patches in your lawn, and erosion along slopes are signs that your property lacks proper drainage. Left unaddressed, poor drainage can weaken foundations, damage landscaping, and create muddy, unusable outdoor spaces.

S.F. Property Services LLC designs and installs drainage systems that redirect water away from structures, reduce pooling, and prevent erosion through grading adjustments, strategic drains, and customized redirection strategies. Old Lyme's clay soils, sloped terrain, and older home foundations make water management a common challenge. The American Society of Civil Engineers states that "effective site drainage reduces hydrostatic pressure on foundations and minimizes long-term structural damage."

When you invest in professional drainage solutions, you protect your home's integrity, improve lawn usability, and reduce the risk of costly water damage over time. Our approach is practical, site-specific, and backed by experience across the region.

Old Lyme properties often sit on sloped lots with heavy clay soils that drain slowly and retain moisture. These conditions, combined with older foundation designs, can lead to basement seepage, foundation cracks, and persistent yard flooding after heavy rain. The Environmental Protection Agency notes that "poor grading and inadequate drainage are leading contributors to residential water intrusion and mold growth."

Our drainage solutions begin with a thorough site evaluation to identify problem areas, assess soil composition, and determine the best approach for your property. We install French drains, surface drains, and grading improvements that move water efficiently away from vulnerable areas. Each system is tailored to your yard's layout, slope, and water flow patterns, ensuring long-lasting results that protect your investment.
