Drainage & Grading in Frisco
Drainage & Grading for Frisco Homes and Businesses
Frisco sits on expansive Blackland Prairie clay. When it rains, water soaks in slowly and puddles. When it dries, the clay shrinks and cracks. Poor drainage leads to standing water, dead grass, mosquitoes and water against the foundation, and swings in soil moisture are linked to foundation movement.
Drainage work starts with grading so the ground slopes away from the house, then adds solutions such as French drains, catch basins, downspout extensions and dry creek beds that carry water to the street or a suitable outlet.
Some homeowners also add foundation watering systems that keep soil moisture more even during dry summers.
