Drainage & Grading in Downingtown, PA

Downingtown sits low along the East Branch of the Brandywine, and many homes here are on bottomland with a high water table that keeps yards wet long after the storm passes. Older homes near the creek fight a constant battle with foundation water and overworked sump pumps. JHL designs and installs drainage that moves both surface runoff and sump discharge well away from the house on these flat, saturated lots.

Drainage & Grading for Downingtown Homes

• Low Brandywine-valley lots get French drains and dry wells sized for a high water table that won't drain fast.
• We give overworked sump pumps a proper buried discharge line to daylight instead of dumping at the foundation.
• Chronically wet yards are regraded with collection points so surface water has a clear path off the lot.
• On older creekside homes we pull roof and surface water back from the walls to stop recurring basement intrusion.

Every Downingtown project begins with a custom 3D rendering, so you see the finished design before any work starts. Learn more about our drainage & grading or explore all our landscaping services in Downingtown.
