Drainage
Stop standing water before it ruins your yard — or your foundation.
Greater Houston's clay soil and flat lots make drainage one of the most common — and most expensive — yard problems. Klean Kuts designs and installs drainage solutions that move water away from your home and out of your yard: French drains, catch basins, downspout routing, channel drains, and re-grading. Built right the first time.

About drainage in Greater Houston
Drainage is the highest-stakes yard problem in Houston. Standing water against your slab leads to foundation movement and the kind of repair bills nobody wants to see. Soggy turf kills grass and breeds mosquitoes. Erosion from poorly routed downspouts gradually undermines beds, hardscape, and landscape investment. Klean Kuts designs and installs drainage solutions that solve the problem at the source — not just mask it.
We install French drains for chronic wet spots, catch basins for collecting roof and surface runoff, channel drains across driveways and patios, downspout extensions and underground routing to move roof water out and away, and yard re-grading where the lot itself is pushing water the wrong direction. Every install is sized to the actual problem — not over- or under-spec'd.
Drainage service is available across Deer Park, Houston, Pasadena, Baytown, La Porte, Seabrook, Kemah, and the Clear Lake area. We start with a site walk during or after a rain event when possible — that's when problems are visible and easiest to diagnose.
Our process
- 1.Site walk (ideally after rain)
We diagnose the actual problem when water is visible — not guess from photos.
- 2.Solution design
French drain, catch basins, routing, grading — we recommend the right combination for your specific issue.
- 3.Install
Trenched, piped, gravelled, and finished cleanly. Turf restored where possible.
- 4.Test + adjust
We test with a hose flow and confirm water moves where it should before walking away.
Pricing factors
- Drainage pricing varies widely by scope — single downspout extensions are inexpensive; full French drain networks are larger projects.
- Length of trenching and pipe is the biggest single driver of cost.
- Pop-up emitters and sump pumps add modest cost where surface daylighting isn't possible.
- We always quote the smallest effective solution — not the biggest one we can sell.
