Drainage and Erosion Control Solutions
Why Professional Drainage Matters
Water is essential for healthy landscapes, but when it flows or collects in the wrong places, it causes serious damage. Poor drainage floods basements, undermines foundations, kills plants, and creates unusable muddy areas throughout your property. Erosion washes away topsoil, creates unsightly gullies, and destabilizes slopes. At Rootwell, we design and install drainage systems and erosion control solutions that protect your property while enhancing your landscape’s natural beauty.
Prevents Foundation Damage
Keep water away from your home’s foundation to prevent cracks, settling, and costly structural repairs that result from water infiltration.
Protects Landscape Investment
Proper drainage creates healthy growing conditions where plants thrive instead of drowning or washing away during storms.
Permanent Solutions
Professional systems solve water problems for good rather than providing temporary fixes that fail with the next heavy rain.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need a drainage system?
Signs include water in your basement, persistent puddles lasting more than 24 hours after rain, soggy areas where grass won’t grow, erosion gullies, foundation cracks, musty basement odors, or water stains on foundation walls.
Where does drainage water go?
Water must discharge to appropriate outlets including municipal storm systems, natural drainage courses, or areas of your property where dispersed water won’t cause problems. We never discharge onto neighbor properties or in ways that create new problems.
Will drainage installation damage my landscape?
Installation requires trenching that temporarily disturbs areas where pipes are buried. We minimize disruption by using efficient excavation methods and protecting areas not being worked. Disturbed grass and plantings recover within weeks.
How long do drainage systems last?
Properly installed systems using quality materials last decades with minimal maintenance. Rigid PVC drainage pipe essentially lasts indefinitely when installed correctly.
Do drainage systems require maintenance?
Minimal maintenance keeps systems functioning optimally. Periodic inspection of catch basins and surface drains to remove accumulated debris prevents clogging. Outlets should be checked to ensure they remain clear.
