Water that sits in your yard ends up against your foundation. We can move it somewhere better.
Poor yard drainage is one of the most common contributing factors to basement water problems in Sault Ste. Marie. When water has nowhere to go after rain or snowmelt, it pools against your foundation — and hydrostatic pressure does the rest.
Some drainage problems are straightforward: the grading is wrong and water runs toward the house instead of away from it. Others require more involved solutions — buried catch basins, perforated pipe, and proper outfall planning.
We assess your property, identify where the water is coming from and where it needs to go, and design a solution that fits your yard, your budget, and where required, the local municipality's guidelines.

We come out, walk the property with you, identify the problem, and give you a quote. You decide what to do from there — no pressure.
Our Approach
Adjusting the slope of your yard so water moves away from the foundation rather than toward it. Often the simplest and most cost-effective fix.
Perforated pipe buried in gravel trenches to capture and redirect groundwater. Effective for properties with persistent moisture or heavy clay soil.
Surface-level drains that capture runoff at low points and route it through buried pipe to a safe discharge location.
When drainage outfalls to a municipal system or roadway ditch, we coordinate with the city to ensure the solution meets local requirements.
Tell us where the water is pooling and we'll come take a look.
