What's Included in This Service?

You'll receive a thorough site evaluation where we identify problem areas, measure slope, and trace water flow patterns during heavy rain. We map out where water collects and determine the best drainage method, whether that's installing French drains, regrading slopes, or cutting swales. This assessment guides every decision we make.

Our team uses mini excavators for precise trenching and backhoes for larger grading corrections. Westermier Excavation installs perforated pipe wrapped in filter fabric and surrounded by clean gravel to ensure long-term performance. We backfill trenches carefully and restore disturbed areas to match existing grade.

After installation, we test the system during the next rain event or simulate runoff to confirm water moves away from foundations and low spots. You'll see immediate improvement in how your property handles storms, and you'll avoid costly repairs tied to water damage.

What is a French drain and when is it needed?
A French drain is a gravel-filled trench with perforated pipe that collects and redirects subsurface water. It's ideal for areas with persistent standing water or where water pools near foundations.

How do swales differ from French drains?
Swales are shallow, vegetated channels that move surface water across your property using gravity and natural slope. They work well in open areas where you want visible drainage and minimal excavation.

Will drainage systems work in Oklahoma City's clay soil?
Yes, we design systems specifically for clay by using proper pipe placement, gravel sizing, and slope angles. Clay's low permeability makes subsurface drainage critical to prevent water from sitting on the surface.

How long does a drainage installation take?

Do drainage systems require ongoing maintenance?
Minimal maintenance is needed if the system is installed correctly. You should clear outlet areas of debris and check for clogs after major storms to ensure water flows freely.
