French Drain and Yard Drainage in Winchell, Kalamazoo, MI
Kalamazoo Drainage Pros is a licensed and insured drainage contractor serving the Winchell neighborhood on the west side of Kalamazoo, near Asylum Lake. We install french drains, run exterior footing drains, correct grading, and bury downspout lines for the established homes across the district.
Winchell is one of the city's settled west-side neighborhoods, with mature lots and homes that have years on them near the Asylum Lake preserve. Foundation water is the common call here, and we take it from outside with a footing drain of perforated pipe in washed #57 stone, wrapped in filter fabric and sloped to daylight or a sump. The fabric keeps the clay out so the drain keeps working; a gravel-only trench on this ground silts closed instead.
An older neighborhood beside a green preserve brings older-house water problems. The low ground near the lake and its wetland keeps the water table up, so the soil gives up water slowly, and a basement that stayed dry for years can start to seep as grades settle and buried lines age. We read the lot and the age of the drainage before choosing a fix.
Our work in Winchell covers exterior footing drains, french drains, grading, and buried downspout lines. Call (269) 555-0177 for a free estimate on your home.
