Exterior & Yard Drainage Solutions in the Greater Cleveland Area

There are many ways to improve drainage on your property. Some approaches are simple, while others are more complex. Kobella offers these solutions:

Foundation Drains

Foundation drains are installed near the bottom of your home’s foundation to divert the water that gathers around the house. Also called footing drains, they’re typically made up of three parts: drain pipe, filter fabric and stone, and delivery system.

Roof & Storm Drain Pipes

Drain pipes ensure water doesn’t collect on your roof or near the foundation by providing a direction for the rain to flow away from your home.

Catch Basins

Catch basins, also known as storm drain inlets, typically include a grate, concrete basin, and sump. The grate allows rain or stormwater to enter the basin, and the sump captures solid debris.

French Drains

French drains are slightly sloped trenches filled with gravel and a pipe that diverts water away from your house. Water runs into the gravel-filled trench, then into the perforated pipe at the bottom of the trench, and finally travels freely through the pipe until it empties a safe distance from your home.

Gutters

Gutters and downspouts ensure rainwater is drained away from your home’s foundation.

The Importance of Drainage Systems in Northeastern Ohio

Drainage around your Cleveland-area home should be taken seriously; if left untreated, standing water can:

  • Kill your grass and other landscape plants
  • Unsettle your driveway
  • Cause health hazards by serving as a breeding ground for mosquitos
  • Damage your home’s foundation
  • Flood your basement

If water gets into your basement, you may find yourself with a whole host of additional costly problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are four common types of drainage systems: French drains, channel drains, yard drains, and dry wells.

  • A French drain is a trench filled with gravel and a perforated pipe that redirects water away from your home’s foundation.
  • A channel drain is a trench with a grate installed in pavement or concrete to redirect water.
  • A yard drain is a catch basin in your yard that pulls water into it, then redirects that water through pipes sloped away from the basin and your home.
  • A dry well is a large container that holds the excess surface water until it can naturally seep into the ground.

Choosing the right exterior drainage system for your home depends on where you need the system and what you’re trying to do with the surface water.

Some drainage systems, like channel drains, work best in solid materials like concrete, so they aren’t appropriate for most yards. On the other hand, French drains can be used in many locations around your property to redirect water away from your home.

Water is a powerful force. Over time, even relatively small amounts of rainwater can do extensive damage. A properly installed exterior drainage system can help protect your home’s foundation and reduce the problems of a damp basement by redirecting surface water away from your home.
