Outdoor Drain Installation in Woodruff, SC

This business was having some pretty serious issues with drainage from their building's downspouts. The water was getting into the business' basement, as well as beginning to cause foundation issues. In order to help the owner out, we installed some downspout extensions, as well as install a drain that ran all the way to the sewer drain.

The "before" picture shows the area that the drain will later be installed. As of now, the water has a path to the drain, but it isn't a very direct, or easy path to follow, which is especially important in heavier rains/flash flooding. Between the drain that will be installed here and the downspout extensions, this business owner won't have to worry about water standing around the foundation.

The "after" photo is a much different story than before, showing the same area but with the drain that runs directly to the sewer. Having this direct path to the sewer is so helpful, especially with the downspout extensions that go straight into a drain that connects with the one "seen" in the picture. This means that all of the water coming in from the roof and gutters is running straight into this drain. This means that the water is not just sitting on the structure's foundation, leading to further issues.
