Yard Drainage Installation

Standing water, soggy lawns, and water against the foundation are more than annoying. Over time they can damage landscaping, hardscape, and the home itself. Burge Sprinkler installs drainage systems that move water away from your house and landscaping, for residential and commercial properties in Maryland and Delaware.

What we do

  • Catch basins and surface drains
  • French drains (perforated pipe set in gravel)
  • Downspout and gutter drainage with pop-up emitters
  • Channel drains for patios, walkways, and driveways
  • Discharge solutions that carry water to a safe location

Signs you have a drainage problem

  • Water pooling in the yard for a day or more after rain
  • Soggy or muddy lawn areas that never seem to dry
  • Water collecting against the foundation or in a basement or crawl space
  • Erosion, washed-out mulch, or gullies in planting beds
  • Water running toward the house instead of away from it

We start with where the water comes from

Drainage problems vary from one property to the next, so we look at where the water comes from and where it needs to go before recommending a fix. Sometimes one catch basin solves it. Other times a combination of downspout drains and a French drain does the job.

Questions about drainage

How do I know if I need a drainage system?

If water sits in the yard long after rain, collects near the foundation, or washes out your beds, drainage can help. A site visit lets us see how water moves across your property.

What is the difference between a French drain and a catch basin?

A French drain is a buried, perforated pipe in gravel that collects and moves groundwater and runoff. A catch basin collects surface water at a low point and sends it into a pipe. Many properties use both.
