Professional Drainage Solutions
Protect your property from devastating water damage. We engineer and install comprehensive exterior drainage systems tailored to the unique soil and weather challenges of the Midwest.
Why Proper Drainage is Critical
In Illinois, the combination of heavy spring rains, melting winter snow, and dense clay soil creates the perfect storm for residential water damage. When water pools around your foundation, it exerts immense hydrostatic pressure. Over time, this pressure causes foundation cracks, basement flooding, and severe structural degradation.
Our professional drainage solutions are designed to proactively move water away from your home. We do not just apply temporary fixes; we engineer permanent routing systems that protect your biggest investment.
Our Drainage Services
French Drain Installation
A French drain is the gold standard for intercepting ground water and preventing soggy yards or flooded basements. We excavate the problem area, lay commercial-grade perforated piping wrapped in sediment-blocking fabric, and backfill with washed stone. This creates a highly efficient channel that safely redirects water away from your foundation.
Catch Basins & Yard Drains
If your yard has low spots where water constantly pools, a catch basin is the solution. We install a grated box at the lowest point of your yard to collect surface water. This basin connects to solid underground PVC piping that carries the water safely away, preventing lawn rot and mosquito breeding grounds.
Underground Downspout Extensions
Standard downspouts often dump hundreds of gallons of water right next to your foundation. We trench and install solid PVC piping to route your downspout water far away from the house, often discharging it into a dry well or at a safe downward slope.
Sump Pump Battery Backups
A sump pump is your last line of defense, but it is useless during a power outage. We install heavy-duty battery backup systems that automatically take over when the power goes out, ensuring your basement stays bone-dry even during the most severe Midwest storms.
The NaperService Difference
Unlike quick-fix contractors who use flimsy corrugated plastic pipes that easily crush or clog, we use rigid, schedule 40 PVC piping for our solid lines. We laser-level our trenches to ensure the perfect slope for gravity-fed drainage, and we meticulously restore your landscaping once the job is done.
We stand behind our work. A properly installed drainage system should last decades, giving you absolute peace of mind during every heavy downpour.
