Bluebird Outdoors: Expert Drainage Solutions in Kansas City
Many homeowners are at some point faced with drainage problems on their property. Poor landscape drainage can not only ruin your yard, but can also cause flooding and other issues with your foundation.
We can help alleviate your drainage issues with a variety of drainage solutions, including French drains, grading, downspout and sump pump extensions, window wells, and various foundation drainage improvements. Our approach to drainage issues is simple. Our first step is to address your drainage problem during a free consultation.
Each drainage system we estimate is uniquely designed to solve a specific set of water-related problems. Our experts will evaluate the drainage problem and determine which drainage solution is the best approach to your specific problem. We are a NDS certified drainage contractor that will stand behind our custom drainage solution.
French Drains
If the water in your yard has no place to escape, a French drain may be the solution. A French drain involves removing dirt to create a small trench, which is then filled with rock or gravel and in some cases a hollow pipe. The gravel and pipe work to disperse the water over a larger area, solving the issue of standing water. They also now have a premade French style drain called ez flow pipe that replaces the gravel method of French drain.
Sump Pump & Downspout Extensions
Downspout extensions and sump pump extensions are good solutions for homes where rain water collects along the foundation and has penetrated the parameters of the house. To solve this issue, an extension is added to the gutter downspout or sump pump and is buried to divert water away from the foundation of the house to an area where the excess water can be used.
Downspout and sump pump burying is a crucial aspect of effective water management. By extending your downspouts underground, we direct rainwater away from your home’s foundation. This prevents water pooling and potential damage. Our team ensures a seamless and efficient installation, improving the longevity of your property.
Grading Services
Proper grading is fundamental to effective drainage. Our grading services ensure that your land slopes away from your home, preventing water from pooling near your foundation. We meticulously assess and adjust the slope of your yard to promote optimal water flow and prevent drainage issues. We can also top the dirt with weed mat and rock or mulch after to keep that slope away from foundation in place.
The grading process involves adjusting the grade of your property, either by hand or with a machine, to correct and level out the high and low spots in your yard to control the direction of the flow of water. By leveling out the areas and redirecting the water flow, your yard will drain properly during heavy rains, preventing water from flowing to one specific area.
Channel Drains
Channel drains are ideal for areas with heavy surface water flow, such as driveways and patios. These drains capture and redirect water, preventing flooding and erosion. Our team installs durable and efficient channel drains that blend seamlessly while providing superior water management.
Window Wells
If you have been the unfortunate recipient of a flooded basement, you may need to have your window wells adjusted or replaced. We will dig up existing window wells and raise them as needed, preventing water flow into the basement. If a simple readjustment does not correct the issues, a larger window well may need to be installed.
Foundation Drainage Improvement
We can improve your foundation drainage with a combination of several different drainage solution techniques. If your house has a surplus of water making its way into your foundation, this may be the drainage solution to consider. There are a variety of options available that will improve the drainage system around the base of your home, from adding top soil to replacing existing drainage systems.
