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 Loveland properties need engineered drainage?
Engineered French drains, catch basins, and yard grading to permanently mitigate hydrostatic pressure and foundation moisture.
Loveland's Little Miami River valley yards need slope erosion protection.
Loveland's uplands are Rossmoyne silt loam over a fragipan about 28 inches down, with Jonesboro and Edenton on the slopes toward the Little Miami. Hydrologic soil group D covers 24 percent of the rated ground and group C another 20 percent. About 29 percent has a water table within two feet of the surface for part of the year. The fragipan is the story here. Water goes down 28 inches, stops, and moves sideways, so a yard can be wet from winter into late spring while the surface looks fine. A shallow fix does not reach the problem, and that sets the depth and the price.
Edenton soil on the river bluffs is 35 percent clay with limestone bedrock about 40 inches down, and the steeper Edenton and Hickory slopes map at 25 to 50 percent grade. Bluff lots are wall jobs. Clay that heavy pushes hard when it is wet, the slope adds load, and the rock below sets how deep a footing can go. That is more wall per foot of height than a flat lot gets.

COMMON SYMPTOMS WE FIX IN LOVELAND
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.
