Yard Drainage Solutions in Central Ohio

Standing water, soggy ground, and a yard that floods every time it rains aren’t just frustrating. They can damage your foundation and make your outdoor space unusable. Coughlin designs and installs drainage systems that move water away from your home for good.

• French Drains — If your yard stays wet for days after rain, or you have a low spot that never seems to dry out, a french drain is likely the answer. It’s a buried pipe that pulls water underground and carries it away from the problem area.
• Natural Drain Swales — If water runs across your yard in sheets during a heavy rain, a swale gives it somewhere to go. It’s a shallow, shaped channel — usually grassed over — that guides runoff away without underground pipe.
• Catch Basins — If water always pools in the same spot — the corner of your yard, the low end of your driveway — a catch basin puts a drain right where you need it and routes the water underground.
• Channel Drains — If water sheets across your driveway, patio, or garage apron and has nowhere to go, a channel drain sits flush with the surface and intercepts it before it becomes a problem.
• Downspout Drains — If your gutters are dumping water right next to your foundation, downspout drains carry it underground and release it well away from your house.
• Drywells — When there’s no good place to send water above ground, a drywell gives it somewhere to go underground, where it slowly disperses into the soil.
• Regrading — Sometimes the yard itself is sloped the wrong way. Regrading reshapes the ground so water naturally runs away from your home instead of toward it.
