How Our Process Works

You'll receive an on-site evaluation where the technician maps water movement, checks existing grades, and identifies low spots prone to pooling. Options such as French drains, surface drains, or regrading are presented with cost estimates and expected outcomes. You'll understand exactly how water will be routed off your property before work begins.

Covenant Works LLC. excavates trenches to proper depth, installs perforated pipe wrapped in filter fabric, and backfills with washed gravel to encourage subsurface flow. Surface drains are positioned in low areas and connected to underground piping or daylight outlets. The crew restores turf and landscaping with care to minimize disruption.

Post-installation checks confirm water flows as intended during simulated rain events. You'll receive maintenance guidance to keep inlets clear of debris and systems functioning at peak efficiency. Every project is completed with attention to long-term performance and property protection.

Homeowners across Lancaster often ask how drainage systems work in clay soil and what signs indicate a serious problem. These answers help you make informed decisions.

What to Expect When You Book

What causes poor drainage in this area?
Dense clay soil common in Lancaster prevents water absorption and creates surface runoff and standing pools. French drains and soil amendments improve percolation and redirect excess moisture.
How deep are drainage trenches dug?
Most French drains are installed 18 to 24 inches deep with a minimum slope of one percent to ensure gravity flow. Depth and grade are adjusted based on your property's topography.
Can you fix erosion around downspouts?
Yes, the crew installs underground downspout extensions, splash blocks, or dry creek beds to carry roof runoff safely away from foundations and landscaping. Erosion stops once water is properly channeled.
Will drainage work damage my lawn?
Trenches are backfilled and seeded or sodded to match existing turf. You'll see temporary disruption, but grass recovers quickly with proper watering and care.
How long do drainage systems last?
Properly installed systems using quality pipe and gravel function for decades with minimal maintenance. Periodic inlet cleaning and inspection ensure continued performance through heavy rains.
