French Drain and Yard Drainage in Hudson, IA
Waterloo Drainage Pros serves Hudson, Iowa, a small farm town southwest of Waterloo and Cedar Falls near Black Hawk Creek. We are a licensed and insured drainage contractor installing french drains, clearing standing water, correcting grading, and setting catch basins and dry wells for homes and country properties around the town.
Hudson sits on flat farmland clay, the kind that holds water at the surface long after a storm has passed. We drain it with perforated pipe bedded in washed #57 stone and sleeved in geotextile filter fabric, sloped to a field ditch or a dry well. That fabric sleeve is what field clay makes non-negotiable, since fines with nothing to stop them pack a bare stone slot solid.
Country lots have room but little fall. The water does not so much run off as spread out and stand. On a property like that, the exit is usually a roadside ditch, a low corner of the lot, or a dry well sized to hold the runoff while the clay takes its time. We build the drain to reach whichever exit the ground offers.
Our work in Hudson runs from french drain installation and dry wells to surface drainage and grading. Every job starts with a free written estimate.
