Your yard has drainage issues, like pooling water and water that hangs around too long after it rains, or water that goes where you don’t want it to go (like towards your garage or house).
You’re looking for someone that can fix water drainage problems or install a french drain in the Bryan, College Station, or Brazos Valley area. Who does that kind of stuff anyway?
Who ya gonna call for yard drainage issues? . . . *crickets chirping*
There’s no great catchy song that answers this question, unfortunately, but at Anchor Foundation Repair, we are here to help. After 35+ years in the community repairing foundations, we know that drainage problems can sometimes contribute to foundation problems and often get asked who to call for this type of issue.
Over the years, we have met and built relationships with great contractors who share our values in serving the community with integrity. Sometimes homeowners we are working with need a referral to address drainage issues after their foundation repairs and this is a list of 4 that we suggest.
We don’t have any sort of deal with these contractors for referrals or kickbacks, just putting this list together to help you out. The only person that benefits from this list is YOU getting in touch with companies that do good solid work in our community.
Your home will also benefit from a proper drainage system that keeps water where it’s supposed to go, maintaining the best possible opportunity for a healthy foundation.

Good Drainage Is Important for Foundation Maintenance
Taking care of your drainage system will help take care of your home’s foundation as well. Even after you get your drainage problem fixed, continue to watch for drainage issues that could lead to a foundation problem in the future.
Your best line of defense against foundation issues is minimizing the opportunity for foundation settlement through preventative maintenance and monitoring. This includes monitoring for drainage problems and handling them sooner rather than later.
At Anchor Foundation Repair, we have been inspecting and repairing Brazos Valley foundations since 1985. We know better than most how drainage affects foundations and that maintaining good drainage is a part of keeping your home in good and stable condition.
Good drainage is not the only factor or solution for foundation health and stability, check out this article that covers several methods to try to prevent foundation problems.
