Excavation & Drainage Contractors Pittsburgh, PA

NDS certified
Lawn repair included

We are one of the few NDS certified drainage contractors in Pittsburgh's South Hills. NDS certification means our team is trained in the latest drainage technology and installation methods - from French drains and channel drains to catch basins and complete yard drainage systems. This certification sets us apart from general landscapers who treat drainage as an afterthought.

Most drainage failures we see come from improper installation - wrong pipe, bad slope, no filter fabric, or drains that empty nowhere useful. As NDS certified installers, we design every system to code with the right materials, proper grade, and a clear discharge point.

French Drain Installation Pittsburgh

A French drain is a trench filled with gravel and perforated pipe that redirects groundwater away from problem areas. Whether you have a wet basement, soggy yard, or water pooling against your foundation, a properly installed French drain is the proven solution. We install interior and exterior French drains for homes and businesses across Pittsburgh's South Hills.

Why Drainage Matters in Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh's clay-heavy soil and hilly terrain create unique drainage challenges. Water doesn't percolate through clay the way it does through sandy soil - it runs downhill and pools in low spots. That's why proper grading and drainage systems are essential for every property in the South Hills. Left unchecked, poor drainage leads to foundation damage, basement flooding, eroded hillsides, and dead grass.

Yard Grading & Land Resloping Pittsburgh

We import soil or regrade existing dirt to improve the drainage slope around your home. Proper grading directs water away from foundations and prevents pooling in your yard. Our drainage and grading projects always include restoring the lawn afterward - an element sometimes overlooked when comparing the true cost between companies.

Excavation Services & Heavy Equipment

Beyond drainage, we handle excavation for utilities, retaining walls, additions, sheds, pools, and property expansions. We own two Caterpillar excavators with tilt rotators - specialized equipment that allows precise digging in tight residential spaces. It is important to extend each downspout away from the house and replace any clogged sections. We evaluate the full picture on every job to make sure water has somewhere to go.
