New Office, New Yard!

We've started the work on the exterior at our new office.  We are no exception when it comes to having good and proper drainage.  Our crew is prepping the yard for the new swales.  Stay tuned as the process goes on to see what will be a beautiful outdoor showroom for Integrity Drainage Solutions, LLC.   

 

A Positive Pitch

Ensuring a positive pitch away from the home is very important.  To control this or pooling lawn areas, the creation of an efficient swale may be required.  Swales are an excellent technique in harvesting rainwater.  They capture surface runoff and allow underground nourishment to trees while also reducing erosion.   By redirecting the water we can prevent pooling (breeding ground for mosquitoes) and help make your yard more enjoyable.  Contact Integrity Drainage Solutions to receive a positive pitch!

Integrity Installs Pitched Swales

At Integrity Drainage Solutions, we have simple, effective, scientific philosophy for exterior drainage: Water flows downhill. We create a path of least resistance to control or move water away from its undesired location around the exterior of your home.

We use a precise and technical approach. For example, surface runoff, a common drainage problem, can be effectively resolved by adjusting the grade so the water flows downhill and your exterior drainage runs away from your structures. We design efficient exterior drainage solutions to cost-effectively meet your needs and create a positive pitch away from your home. Call for a free consultation today.

While It's Dry, Don't Forget the Damage From Too Much Wet

Now’s the time to fix your exterior drainage problems before the next rounds of heavy soaking rains. No matter how hot or humid the temperature is outside, our dedicated crew gets the work done quickly and efficiently.

"I want to thank you all for the yard grading and the new patio you put in for us. Last month, when we had torrential rain and all of our friends had massive basement flooding and damage, we had NO water at all in our basement. In fact, we had no water pooling on the patio either. Everything worked perfectly and we had a restful night's sleep that night all thanks to the work you did. So, a heartfelt THANK YOU! from us. " -- Reva F., Bayside, WI

#AtoZChallenge – Z is for Zones of Drainage

Water flows downhill. An effective strategy for drainage problems is to create zones of drainage, that is, creates a path of least resistance to control or move water away from undesired locations.

Considering surface runoff is the most common drainage problem, adjusting the grade is a recommended drainage solution. Integrity Drainage Solutions are experts at creating effective zones of drainage.

Ensuring a positive pitch for water flow away from your home is vital. Prevent pooling by directing the water off the property (a natural breeding ground for mosquitoes).

A drain tile system or a catch basin (yard drain) can be excellent approaches to supplement the benefits of proper grading. A 4" perforated drain tile back-filled with limestone chips will absorb seepage (underground water) under the center of a swale or other appropriate areas. Considering these pipes may freeze in a typical Wisconsin winter, they should be used as a secondary drainage solution.
