Expert landscape drainage services in Portland, OR protecting homes from water intrusion and foundation damage.
Local Landscape Drainage Expertise
In Portland, OR, landscape drainage isn't optional—it's essential. Landscape drainage in Portland protects your foundation, prevents soil erosion, and stops water from pooling in yards and basements. With an average of 37 inches of rain each year, proper drainage keeps your property safe and dry when wet months arrive.
We diagnose your water problems, design a custom solution, and install it right the first time.
We start with a thorough site inspection to understand water flow, soil type, and where pooling occurs.
In neighborhoods like Laurelhurst and Mount Tabor, sloped terrain often channels water toward foundations. We identify these patterns and create a plan that works with your property's natural topography.
Based on rainfall patterns and soil conditions, we recommend the right combination of drains and systems.
Whether it's a French drain to reroute groundwater, downspout extensions to move roof runoff, or a sump pump to handle persistent moisture, we match the solution to your specific needs.
Our crew installs your drainage system with precision, grading soil and positioning components to direct water away from your home.
We test every connection and verify water flows as planned. You'll walk away knowing your home is protected.
We evaluate water flow, identify problem areas, and understand your property's drainage needs.
We design a drainage system tailored to your yard's slope, soil type, and Portland's seasonal rainfall.

We test the system to confirm water flows correctly and your foundation is protected long-term.
You'll always know what's happening next—and when.
We offer a complete range of drainage services to solve Portland water challenges.
French drains redirect subsurface water away from foundations and problem areas.
If water pools in your yard or seeps into crawlspaces, a French drain in Northeast or Southeast Portland can solve it. The perforated pipe sits in gravel, allowing water to flow safely away while grass and landscaping grow on top.
Roof runoff must flow away from your foundation, not toward it.
We extend downspouts and connect them to drain systems that move water 4–6 feet or more from your home. This simple step prevents foundation saturation in areas like Hawthorne and Sunnyside where winter rains are heavy.
Moisture in crawlspaces leads to mold, rot, and structural problems.
We install vapor barriers, sump pumps, and perimeter drains to keep moisture out. Many Portland homes benefit from a combination approach.
For homes with persistent groundwater, a sump pump actively pumps water away.
We size and install pumps rated for Portland's wet seasons. Battery backup ensures protection even during power outages.
Drainage protects your greatest asset and saves money in the long run.
Water intrusion causes foundation cracks, rotted wood, and mold—all expensive to fix.
Good drainage prevents these problems. Once water enters your basement or crawlspace, damage compounds. Portland's wet climate makes prevention the best investment.
A properly installed French drain or sump pump system pays for itself by avoiding foundation repairs costing thousands or tens of thousands.
Portland creates and maintains policies and regulations for stormwater management that ensure appropriate stormwater management facilities get built when properties are developed.
Whether you're renovating or building, proper drainage keeps you compliant with city codes. We handle design and installation so you stay on the right side of local requirements.
We work throughout Portland's neighborhoods, from hillside homes to urban properties.
Portland's six quadrants each present unique drainage challenges.
Northeast and Southeast neighborhoods often have more permeable soils, while the West Hills and Northwest Portland see steeper grades. We understand these differences and design solutions that work for your specific location, whether it's Multnomah Village, the Pearl District, or East Portland.
We've worked in Mount Tabor, Laurelhurst, Hawthorne, Sunnyside, and many other Portland neighborhoods. Local knowledge means faster diagnosis and smarter solutions.
