WHEN RAIN LEAVES A PROBLEM
Less standing water. More usable yard.
A muddy side yard, a puddle beside the patio, or water collecting against the house can make every storm a concern. Arlington Drainage Pros helps you find a practical way to manage that runoff.
Some problems start at a downspout. Others come from a low spot, a blocked drain, or ground that stays saturated. We look at the source and the route the water needs to take, then discuss the work that fits your property.
- Water pooling after rain
- Runoff near the house or garage
- Drains that back up or stop flowing
- Soil washing out around an outlet

DRAINAGE GUIDE
French drain, grading, or catch basin?
These options do different jobs. The way water reaches the wet area helps determine which one belongs in the plan.

Repair the drain or replace it?
Keep the parts that still work when it makes sense. First, find out whether the problem is a blockage, damage, or the original layout.

Illustrative flow. Your property determines the route.
Trace the source
We install and repair drainage for Arlington properties by matching the work to the way water arrives. A downspout concentrates roof runoff at one point. A driveway can send a broad sheet of water toward a garage.
A low lawn may stay wet because its surface has no continuous route out. Those problems can look similar after a storm, but they do not all need the same drain. We trace the source, collection point and receiving area before discussing the installation.
Check what is already there
That approach also helps when an existing system stops working. A clear grate does not establish that the buried line or outlet is clear, and a full basin does not automatically mean all the pipe needs replacement.
We look at the accessible components and ask what changed before the backup began. Cleaning, a focused repair and a new route each have a place. The recommendation should explain which problem the work addresses and why the remaining parts can stay or need to change.
Read the ground
Local ground conditions matter without making every Arlington yard identical. Soil, fill, compaction and later landscaping can vary across a property.
We consider those conditions alongside actual surface levels and the timing of the wetness. An infiltration feature needs ground that can accept its water; a gravity line needs a usable route to its outlet. Where the site does not support one approach, we compare alternatives rather than adding more of a component that cannot perform the needed job.
Plan the work and the finish
Before work begins, the estimate should make the disruption understandable. Gates, trees, utilities, paving and the location of the outlet can change the route and installation method.
We identify the surfaces affected and discuss soil, turf and paving restoration. Once the work is finished, inlets, cleanouts and outlets need to stay accessible. Keeping a record of the route helps protect the installation when landscaping changes and makes later maintenance easier if the way water moves across the property changes again.
DRAINAGE QUESTIONS
Questions before you get started
Have a question about your property?
Call (817) 754-7373
Do I need a French drain or a surface drain?
A French drain collects water moving through soil. A catch basin or channel drain collects water flowing across the surface. We look at when the wet area appears and how water reaches it before recommending either.
Can a downspout cause a wet yard?
Yes. A downspout concentrates roof runoff in one spot. If it empties beside the house or into a low area, extending it to a suitable outlet may be part of the solution.
Can you repair an existing drainage system?
Yes. Drainage repair and cleaning are part of our services. The first step is finding whether the problem is a blockage, damage, settling, or an outlet that no longer works.
Will the yard need to be dug up?
Buried drains require excavation along the planned route. Grading affects the surface instead. The project scope should explain access, disturbed areas, and what turf, soil, or paving restoration is included.
How much does drainage work cost?
The route, depth, number of inlets, site access, and restoration all affect the price. Send us the property location and a description of the problem so we can discuss the next step for an estimate.
Do you serve areas outside Arlington?
Yes. Our coverage includes Grand Prairie, Mansfield, Pantego, Dalworthington Gardens, Euless, Kennedale, Hurst, Bedford, North Richland Hills, Fort Worth, Burleson, and Cedar Hill.
Who completes the work?
Drainage work is completed by fully licensed and insured contractors. Arlington Drainage Pros manages the service, and the project scope identifies the work to be completed.
What should I have ready when I call?
Your property location, a short description of where water collects, and how long it stays are enough to start. Photos taken safely during or after rain can help explain the problem.
