Our Services
Surface Drainage Inland Empire | FH Construction
Proper surface drainage plays a critical role in protecting homes and commercial properties from standing water, erosion, and moisture intrusion. When rainwater is not directed away from a building, it can collect around foundations, penetrate exterior walls, damage landscaping, and contribute to long-term structural problems. FH Construction provides professional Surface Drainage Inland Empire services for homeowners, commercial property owners, HOAs, and property managers throughout the Inland Empire, including Riverside, San Bernardino, Ontario, Fontana, Corona, Rancho Cucamonga, and surrounding communities.
Unlike many drainage contractors, FH Construction’s Primary Business Category is Water Intrusion Testing. This specialized expertise allows our team to identify how water moves around a property and where drainage deficiencies may contribute to moisture intrusion. Rather than simply installing drains, we evaluate runoff patterns, grading, drainage pathways, and vulnerable building areas to help create effective long-term water management solutions.
Whether you’re dealing with standing water, poor grading, erosion, foundation moisture, or drainage problems around your home or commercial building, FH Construction delivers dependable surface drainage solutions designed to protect your investment.

Common Drainage Problems We Address
Surface drainage issues can develop gradually and lead to significant property damage if left unresolved.
Standing Water
Water collecting around buildings, patios, walkways, and landscaping often indicates inadequate drainage.
Poor Grading
Improper slopes may direct water toward the structure rather than safely away from it.
Soil Erosion
Runoff can wash away soil, damage landscaping, and undermine hardscape features over time.
Foundation Moisture
Water collecting near foundations may increase the risk of moisture intrusion and structural deterioration.
Drainage System Failures
Blocked, damaged, or undersized drainage systems may prevent water from flowing away efficiently during heavy rainfall.
