Professional Area Drain Installation for Effective Surface Drainage
Area drains are designed to capture surface water before it has an opportunity to collect around structures or damage surrounding landscaping. Installed in strategic low points throughout a property, these drainage systems efficiently direct water into underground piping that safely carries runoff away from the building.
FH Construction designs every area drain system based on the property’s grading, drainage patterns, and visible moisture concerns. Our expertise in Water Intrusion Testing allows us to identify drainage issues that may contribute to foundation moisture, exterior deterioration, and long-term waterproofing problems.
