Standing water and muddy yards can cause big problems. Hershey Drainage Solutions fixes drainage so your lawn, yard, and basement stay dry.
Fix Your Drainage Today
After heavy rain, does your yard stay wet for days? Water is sitting in the same spots. Grass is dying out. Mud every time you walk outside. It feels like no matter what you do, the yard just never dries out properly. Standing water is not just a lawn problem. It slowly damages your grass, weakens the soil, and can push water toward your home’s foundation over time. We come out, look where the water is collecting, and figure out exactly why it isn’t draining the way it should. Sometimes the ground is graded incorrectly. Sometimes the soil is too compacted. Sometimes the runoff path is just blocked. We design drainage solutions that move water away from the problem areas fast and safely. That might mean regrading part of your yard or putting in surface drains to redirect the flow. The goal is simple. After it rains, your yard dries out the way it is supposed to.

Some driveways and yards just have that one spot where water always collects. It runs down, hits a flat area, and stays there for days. Regular surface drains can help, but sometimes they just cannot keep up with the volume of water flowing through them. In Hershey, we install channel and trench drains where water builds up quickly, like near garage doors or where the ground slopes toward a flat concrete surface. These drains sit level with the ground, so water flows right into them instead of spreading out. Underneath, there is a channel that carries the water away from your property. Getting the placement right is the most important part. If a trench drain is even a little off, water will skip right over it. We make sure everything is lined up correctly and connected to the drainage lines properly. When the job is done, that spot finally stays dry even when it is pouring outside.
You notice a damp smell in your basement. Then you see a wet spot on the wall. You ignore it for a while, thinking it will go away. It does not. It gets worse. And by the time most people take it seriously, the damage is already building. Our basement and foundation drainage solutions in Hershey are designed to prevent water from ever reaching your home. We figure out how moisture is reaching the foundation, whether it is coming from poor grading, soil water pressure building up, or a blocked drainage system outside.
From there, we put the right fix in place. That could mean exterior drain tiles, a perimeter drain around the foundation, or regrading the ground so water flows away from your home rather than toward it. Taking care of the water at the source keeps your basement dry and your foundation strong in the long run.
After every rain, you walk around your house and notice the ground right next to the foundation is always wet. The grass there never dries out. And you have no idea where all that water is actually going. The truth is your downspouts are dropping water right at the base of your home, and it has nowhere else to go. In Hershey, we extend and redirect downspouts so rainwater flows away from your property properly. Sometimes that means running an underground drain line to a proper discharge point further away. Other times, it means fixing the slope or clearing out a blocked runoff path that is sending water in the wrong direction.
When downspouts are not set up correctly, water builds up around your foundation and slowly seeps into the soil. That is how basement moisture problems and soil erosion start. Getting your downspout drainage right is one of the simplest ways to protect your home from water damage before it becomes a real problem.
Some yards hold water for days after rain, and no amount of grading or surface work fixes it because the real issue is that the water simply has no exit point on the property. A dry well takes that water underground and lets it slowly soak back into the soil on its own. Your yard stops holding water on the surface, and everything drains as it should. We install dry wells and rainwater management systems in Hershey based on how water moves through your property and how well the soil absorbs it. The system connects to your downspouts or surface drains, so water is pulled away from the surface instead of pooling on top. We set everything up so it does not back up or clog over the years. Once it is in the ground and working, your yard stays dry, and you stop thinking about where the water is going after every storm.
