Solve the cause—not only the symptom
Give surface water a controlled path away.
Water collecting beside a foundation or across a yard rarely fixes itself. Roof runoff, compacted soil, low areas and nearby slopes can all concentrate water where a property is most vulnerable.
Phoenix evaluates how water enters, moves and exits the site before recommending a system. The result may combine collection, conveyance, discharge and grading improvements rather than relying on one drain for every condition.
What property owners notice
Signs it is time to investigate
Downspout washout
Roof runoff erodes soil or empties too close to the building.
Wet basement or crawlspace
Exterior water pressure contributes to seepage below grade.
Soggy lawn
Sections stay soft, muddy or unusable long after surrounding areas dry.

Straight answers
Exterior Drainage Solutions questions
What is the difference between a French drain and a catch basin?+
A French drain primarily intercepts water moving through saturated soil. A catch basin collects surface runoff at a low point. Some properties benefit from both.
Where will the collected water go?+
A drainage plan needs a safe, lawful outlet with adequate fall. The specific discharge point depends on the property, site elevation and local requirements.
Can drainage help a wet basement or crawlspace?+
It may reduce exterior water reaching the foundation, but interior entry points and below-grade conditions should also be evaluated before selecting a complete solution.
