Grading and Drainage in Austin, TX

If water pools in the same spots after every rain or flows toward your home, your Austin property likely needs regrading, a drainage system, or both. A site visit is the clearest way to tell which fix applies to your yard.

Yes. When water collects against your slab, it saturates Austin's clay soil and causes it to swell and shift under your foundation. Correcting the grade moves water away before it can build up near the structure.

We walk the property, check how the land slopes, and find where water is collecting or moving the wrong direction. From there, we put together a plan specific to your Austin lot and soil conditions.

Regrading alone solves many standing water problems in Austin by correcting the slope. Some properties also need a French drain or catch basin where the soil is too flat or clay-heavy to shed water with grade alone.

Yes. Austin's Blackland clay sheds water rather than absorbing it, so runoff moves fast and sits on the surface longer. Any grading or drainage solution here has to account for that behavior to work correctly.
