Local Drainage Problems
A drainage plan should follow the water path
Water problems often become obvious only after a property has changed over time. A new patio can block an old flow path, soil can settle along the foundation, or a downspout can release a large volume of water into a narrow side yard.
Rather than treating every wet area as a French-drain job, an on-site assessment should trace how water enters, where it collects, and where it can safely go. That can lead to a simpler and more appropriate solution.
Drainage Solutions
Solutions matched to the source of the water
Surface drainage
Catch basins and regrading address runoff that remains above ground after storms.
Subsurface drainage
French drains give groundwater and saturated soil a path away from problem areas.
Roof-runoff control
Solid underground piping moves concentrated downspout water away from the house.
Dry-well systems
Store collected water below grade where a gravity outlet is not practical.

Frequently Asked Questions
Drainage questions from Central Islip homeowners
Why did my yard start flooding even though it never used to?
Settling, landscaping changes, new hardscape, clogged or redirected downspouts, and changes to neighboring runoff can all alter drainage over time.
Do all wet yards need a French drain?
No. Surface runoff may be better handled with grading or catch basins. French drains are most useful when water is moving through saturated soil.
Can you combine multiple drainage systems?
Yes. Many properties work best with a combination such as downspout piping feeding a dry well plus a separate catch basin or French drain.
