Proper home drainage will protect your residence's foundation from natural erosion. Lawn drainage systems prevent standing water from making slippery surfaces and prevent your landscape from drowning underneath inches of rainwater. Each of the potential hazards and problems that a drainage system prevents has the potential to be costly and dangerous.
Drainage services are necessary to ensure your lawn and home are protected from standing water and floods. By taking steps to install quality drainage system in your home, you can prevent serious water damage from occurring to your household. Our Louisiana environment promises heavy rainfall at least a few times a year.
Older systems may have been installed with black corrugated piping, which is a type of pipe we generally highly recommend against. Why? Well, the durability simply does not outlast a hard PVC piped system. Other causes for a system failure could be due to the addition of new landscapes or hardscapes that have altered the original flow of water.
Ground saturation is when the soil underneath your home absorbs too much water. Soils rich in clay will often have this problem, and cause the soil to not support heavy weight. If not fixed correctly, and in a timely manner, you could risk losing sod or garden plants. If the soil has too much water in it, plants can drown and the ground can turn very soft.

These people have been a great help for improving the drainage for our condo complex and reducing the flood threat. Mike and Jason offered some very positive suggestions about improving our situations. They greatly improved the drainage ditch in front of the complex and have now started construction of a berm to protect us from a retention lake that has already flooded our place once. They have been very diligent and conscientious about getting the work done and I look forward to continuing to work with them. I would highly recommend them to anyone with a potential flooding problem.

Ever since we moved into our house, we have had standing water causing any number of problems from mosquitoes to mold. Mike and his crew installed an attractive efficient system that drains effortlessly into our culvert quickly and invisibly. No more mosquitoes or puddles! Thank you, Drainage Solutions.

We had a challenging drainage problem around the house that they helped us with. I liked their problem-solving skills and their stepwise approach to the complexity of the issue. Ultimately, it took 3 projects to resolve the problem over a year or so. Each time Mike reassessed the issue and came up with new ideas to improve on previous projects.
I recommend Drainage solutions for their ability to resolve simple or complex problems using a common sense approach that leads to successful resolution of the issue.

We had terrible drainage problems for years. Every heavy rain and we were threatened with water getting into the house. I found McWane Contractors. Mike came out quickly and gave us an estimate. The work was done next week. As it happens on August 28, Baton Rouge had deluge of 5-6"" of rain in an hour. We watched the water flow into the catch basins and into the piping system and away from the house. Mike Coates' workers were prompt and cleaned up afterwards. I am very satisfied with the job.

For years my yard became a lake after hard rain and the problem only worsened with time. After the water finally got high enough to flood my sunroom and seep behind a bedroom wall, I knew I needed a solution and McWane Drainage Solutions was it! Mike knew exactly how to solve the problem and was very responsive to questions throughout the process. I now have a robust drainage system and there’s been no water accumulation anywhere near the house. The sound of hard rain no longer evokes fear of flooding - what a relief!
