French Drain and Yard Drainage in Prospect Hills, Waterloo, IA
Waterloo Drainage Pros is a licensed and insured drainage contractor serving the Prospect Hills neighborhood on Waterloo's west side. We install french drains, correct grading, bury downspout lines, and set catch basins for the established homes across the area.
Prospect Hills is a settled residential neighborhood on the same flat Iowa clay that lies under the rest of the west side. We drain wet ground with perforated pipe in washed #57 stone, sleeved in geotextile filter fabric and sloped to a lower exit. Where roof water is the trouble, we bury the downspouts in solid PVC to a pop-up emitter. A gravel trench with no fabric packs shut on this soil in a few years.
An established neighborhood carries settled-ground problems. The homes are not new, and the grade around many of them has crept back toward the house over the years. Rain that once ran to the yard now finds the wall, and a downspout dropping at the foundation makes it worse. We rebuild the grade and move the roof water off before we reach for anything larger.
Our work in Prospect Hills covers grading and slope correction, buried downspout lines, french drains, and catch basins. Call (319) 555-0196 for a free estimate on your home.
