French Drain and Yard Drainage in Cedar Falls, IA
Waterloo Drainage Pros works throughout Cedar Falls, Iowa, the twin city just upriver on the Cedar River. We are a licensed and insured drainage contractor installing french drains, burying downspout lines, setting catch basins, correcting grading, and running footing drains for homes on both banks of the river.
Cedar Falls is a city in its own right, not a small suburb, and its water problems run the full range. We drain wet ground with perforated pipe bedded in washed #57 stone, wrapped in geotextile filter fabric, and sloped to daylight or a sump. A plain gravel trench with no fabric fills with the fine river-valley soil in a few years and quits moving water.
The town splits by where a house sits. The older streets near downtown and the university carry aged drainage on ground that slopes toward the Cedar, so foundation water and damp basements are the common call. The newer subdivisions on the edges sit on graded clay, where a settled grade and a downspout at the wall do most of the harm. We read which part of Cedar Falls a home is in before we quote.
Our work in Cedar Falls runs from french drain installation and exterior footing drains to catch basins and buried downspout lines. Every job starts with a free written estimate.
