We have had excellent results with the Drainage Team! Ever since we moved in our house we have had recurrent basement flooding. The basement crack and waterproofing contractors kept installing indoor drainage without correcting the problem. It wasn’t until Drainage Team installed the outside drainage system that we have had a totally dry basement. I was impressed with the company’s knowledge and expertise, plus the care and consideration the workers showed. Every time someone mentions a wet basement I refer them to the Drainage Team. Thanks!
Stormwater Basin Solutions
Bioretention Basins
Bioretention is the process of filtering sedimentation and contaminants from stormwater runoff through the use of landscaped depressions or shallow basins. These bioretention basins are created to slow and treat on-site stormwater runoff during and after a rain event as water accumulates in the area. These basins are installed at points where stormwater is directed. The water then percolates through the system and the biological process treats the water before allowing any overflow water to flow into the municipal stormwater sewer system.
Contact us today to have your Bioretention System professionally installed, renovated or maintained.


Bioswales
Bioswales are landscaped features with the primary purpose of filtering stormwater through a combination of special soils, vegetation and rock. Filtering the rain water helps remove pollutants, silt and debris along with slowing down and minimizing the waterflow into the storm sewer system. While the water accumulates, it also benefits the surrounding area by allowing for groundwater recharge in the area of the bioswale.
Contact Drainage Team today for your bioswale development, restoration and annual maintenance programs.
Retention Basins & Ponds
Retention basins or retention ponds are often referred to as a “wet ponds”, a “wet detention basin” or “stormwater management pond”. Retention basins are used to manage stormwater runoff which helps to prevent flooding, downstream erosion, and improve water quality that’s flowing from the basin to an adjacent river, stream, or lake. Wet ponds are commonly created for water quality improvement, groundwater recharge, flood protection, and aesthetic improvement designed to improve the neighborhood or office park.
Drainage Team can handle your retention basin / detention basin development, erosion control, restoration and annual maintenance programs. Contact us today for a consultation.


Pond Edge Stabilization
Shorelines of stormwater ponds are prone to erosion due to the many forces that work to undermine the stability of the banks and edges. Subtlest is the most significant erosional force at the shoreline which is caused by the ongoing water ripples that loosen saturated soils and constantly pulls soil particles apart directly below the water surface.
Stormwater ponds are even more susceptible to this due to the rising and lowering of water levels that occur through each rain event. The repeated rise and fall of water levels create currents that actually pull soil away from the banks. In addition to these naturally occurring erosion impacts, storm sewer discharge pipes, swale discharge, and downspout pipes that drain to the pond can also have a major impact on erosion and can cause deep gullies and holes in the ponds banks.
Drainage Team has the solutions to control your erosion, stabilize the shoreline and restore your ponds aesthetics. Contact us today for an erosion consultation.
Creek Restoration
Drainage Team executes best-practice creek restoration techniques that are innovative, support a healthy creek / river ecosystem and wherever possible we work with natural processes. The majority of our creek restoration projects include cleaning up the creek area, reestablishing the waterflow channel, establishing new vegetation on the banksides along with any rock installation. We follow up with the necessary aftercare to ensure plant success and maintenance programs to keep your creek looking / functioning great year after year.


Rip Rap Installation
Rip Rap is an effective solution for lining the contours of a streambank, stormwater basin, or any area where there’s heavy water flow running through an area where erosion control is desired. Rip Rap is a cost-effective solution, relatively easy to add to when necessary, has a natural appearance, does not harm the environment, and works well in combination with soil bioengineering slope techniques.
The key to a successful Rip Rap project is preparation of the area where you’re installing the rock. Whether it’s swale creation, compacting the area first, prepping the streambank, installing the proper underlayment, etc. Make sure your contractor has all these boxes checked before your Rip Rap installation begins.
Drainage Team installs Rip Rap rock on Drainage and Erosion Control on a regular basis. Contact us today for a consultation.
Our Specialization = Your Benefit
Some Of Our Specialized Equipment
Our crews are equipped with the right sized equipment for any sized project. From drainage systems next to a pool deck to installing a series of concrete storm sewer inlets on a new construction site, we have the right equipment for the project.
Minimizing Disturbance Is Our Primary Focus
While planning and mobilizing at the start of your project, our crews first priority is minimizing disturbance through our access points on your property. We use heavy duty plywood and trackmats to ensure the least amount of disturbance during your project installation.
Mechanical Compaction To Prevent Settling
When we leave your project, there’s no settling. We use mechanical compaction equipment to ensure that wherever our drainage systems are installed, the pipe is backfilled and compacted to maximum compaction. Our compaction equipment is similar to what you see on a utility company crew.
Site Restoration. Your Property Looks Beautiful Again… Within Days.
When our crews finalize your installation, we restore your site to perfect condition. We install high quality select grass seed, straw roll / erosion netting, or freshly cut sod from our local sod farm partners.
Your Budget. Our Stormwater Basin Solutions.
Over the past 20+ years of performing professional stormwater basin related projects, we have analyzed pricing data to generate this general budget outline. This should help you determine the budget size you may need for your project. (All estimated dollar amounts are presented in $1,000.00’s. K = $1,000.00 USD) We cannot give you an exact estimate until we meet you for a consultation.
