How do you fix standing water around a house foundation?
Standing water creates hydrostatic pressure that threatens structural integrity. We install perimeter French drains and deep catch basins to safely convey the peak rate of runoff away from your foundation.
Why do Corwin properties need engineered drainage?
Engineered French drains, catch basins, and yard grading to permanently mitigate hydrostatic pressure and foundation moisture.
Corwin is rural Warren County, where drainage problems cost just as much.
Corwin sits where the uplands meet the Little Miami. Near the village the soils are Russell, Miamian, Genesee, Wynn and Hennepin at about 8 to 11 percent each, with Casco gravel on the terrace. Wynn runs about 38 percent clay in the subsoil and hits shale bedrock about 31 inches down. Casco hits gravel at 16 inches. Well drained ground is 73 percent of the map. A wet Corwin yard usually points at grade, not soil. But a Wynn lot can hit shale under three feet and a Casco lot hits gravel at 16 inches, and either one changes the machine and the price for a wall footing or a trench.
Thirteen percent of the mapped ground near Corwin is rated for flooding along the Little Miami, and about 11 percent has a water table within two feet of the surface for part of the year. River lots answer to the river. Everything else in Corwin drains, and the work is about sending water the right way, which is usually a grade job before it is a pipe job.

COMMON SYMPTOMS WE FIX IN CORWIN
Why is my backyard a swamp after it rains?
This is severe surface water accumulation resulting directly from the impermeable nature of local hydrated clay soils. Once the clay reaches its hydration capacity, water has nowhere to go but up.
Why is my grass dying in low spots?
Prolonged submersion in saturated clay deprives root systems of vital oxygen, causing root rot and creating breeding grounds for pests.
