Redirect Troubling Water Issues with Proper Downspouts

Clogged downspouts and nonfunctioning gutters are a common problem for many homeowners.  The key question is usually: Why aren’t my downspouts working properly? Here are a few reasons:

• Improper or poor installation

• Ineffective drains and lines

• Low quality materials

• Drain line clogs

Any of these factors or a combination can lead to problems. But here’s the good news: We can fix them!

Choose Proper Grading & Swales

If water puddling and ground saturation are huge problems for your property, grading and swales may be just what you need. Grading certain areas redirects stormwater to a new area. Depending on the severity of your situation, our regrading may involve laying new sod, excavating soil or even removing and replacing grass. Also, if the design permits, we may even construct a swale to harbor the redirected water. End result? Drier solutions for you and your family!

Here are a few more benefits to both:

• Grading protects your foundation from excess moisture

• Grading and swales eliminate yard saturation

• Swales are an easy maintenance-free drainage solution

• Swales utilize no equipment to push water away from your home

We Have Expert Methods to Keep Your Land Dry – French Drain

Our custom French Drains will capture water in the subsurface and slowly lower the water table. If properly installed with strong PVC piping and geo-textile fabric, our French Drain will outlast the competition with minimal maintenance. Here at Tim Murphy Landscaping, we only use strong PVC Piping and not thin black corrugated pipe, which will break down quickly over time

What Is Stormwater Collection?

Stormwater collection takes water that accumulates around your home and channels it far away from your property. To do this properly, the right system needs to be installed for your specific problem to redirect the flow of water.

Some of the removal systems we install to collect stormwater include:

• French drains with PVC piping

• Dry wells or swales

• Sewage pumps (if gravity from a naturally sloped drain is a concern)

• Channel drains

Each of our removal systems is specific to your unique situation, which is why we always need to thoroughly inspect your property before recommending a plan. Many times, we also need to regrade lawn areas prior to installing french drains in the proper location.
