Fall Creek: what is different here
Fall Creek drainage starts with size. These are large lots in a 2,300-acre golf-course community, with long rooflines, wide driveways, big patios, and pools — and every one of those surfaces concentrates water. A fairway-adjacent lot can also take runoff from higher ground, so the water arriving at your lot is not only yours. The fix is a system, not a single drain: channel drains where water sheets across the driveway and patio, catch basins at the low corners, downspouts carried underground to a real discharge point, and French drains for the ground water that sits in the clay after a storm. Gated sections and large lots mean the discharge route has to be planned, not assumed — the water has to have somewhere to go that does not flood the next lot down. We walk the whole lot, find where the water starts, and build the system around it.
What we do
- French drains — perforated pipe in gravel that collects water sitting in the soil and carries it to a proper discharge point.
- Catch basins — grates at the low spots that catch surface water before it ponds, tied into solid pipe.
- Channel drains — long, narrow drains across driveways, patios, and walkways where water sheets across hard surfaces.
- Downspout tie-ins — roof water carried underground in solid PVC to daylight, kept separate from perforated French drain pipe so roof debris cannot clog it.
- Grading and re-sloping — shaping the ground so water runs away from the house instead of toward it.
- Sump pumps — for lots where gravity alone cannot get the water out.
How we find the real problem
We walk the lot after a rain if we can, and we look at where the water starts, not just where it ends up. A wet side yard is usually a symptom. The cause might be a downspout dumping beside the house, a low spot the builder left, soil that will not drain, or a sprinkler leak feeding the same wet patch every day. We test for the leak first, because a French drain cannot fix a broken pipe. Then we design the drain for the water that is actually there — how much, from where, and where it can legally and safely go. No two lots drain the same way, so we do not quote a price sight unseen. We give you a clear plan and a free look first.

Frequently asked questions
Why does my Fall Creek lot flood when the golf course next door looks fine?
Large lots and higher ground uphill can send their runoff onto your lot, and your own roof, driveway, patio, and pool deck concentrate a lot of water in one place. The fix is a system — channel drains, catch basins, downspout tie-ins, and French drains — sized for all of it, not just one wet spot.
Do I need a French drain or catch basins?
It depends on where the water is. A French drain collects water sitting in the soil; a catch basin catches surface water at a low spot. Many lots need both. We look at the lot and tell you which one fits, or whether you need the two working together. See Do I need a French drain or catch basins?
Why is water standing next to my foundation?
Usually because roof water, surface runoff, or ground water has nowhere else to go. Downspouts dumping beside the house are the most common cause, and they are also the easiest to fix. See Why is water standing next to my foundation?
Can a sprinkler leak cause a drainage problem?
Yes — a leaking lateral line or valve can feed the same wet patch every day, and no drain will fix it until the leak is repaired. We test for leaks before we design drainage. See Can a sprinkler leak cause a drainage problem?
