Residential Storm Drainage

Water is one of the most damaging elements to a home if not properly managed. In South Florida, heavy rains and sudden storms are common, and without a reliable storm drainage system, excess water can quickly overwhelm your property. At Finn Irrigation, we specialize in designing and installing drainage solutions that protect your home, landscaping, and foundation while keeping your outdoor spaces usable and attractive year-round.

Why Storm Drainage is Essential

Poor drainage doesn’t just create puddles—it can cause serious and costly problems over time. Common issues homeowners face include:

• Standing water in lawns – Creates muddy, unusable areas and kills grass.

• Mosquito and pest breeding – Pools of water become a perfect environment for insects.

• Foundation and structural damage – Water that collects near your home can seep into the foundation, weakening it over time.

• Erosion and landscape damage – Washouts destroy plants, mulch, and soil, leaving your yard uneven.

• Mold and mildew concerns – Persistent dampness around your property can lead to unhealthy air quality indoors.

A properly installed drainage system eliminates these issues by directing water safely away from your home and into appropriate outlets.

Our Drainage Solutions

Every property is different, which is why we provide tailored solutions based on your yard’s grading, soil type, and problem areas. Our services include:

• Catch Basins & Channel Drains – Installed in low spots or driveways to collect large volumes of surface water and channel it away.

• French Drains – A gravel-filled trench with a perforated pipe that redirects water underground, ideal for soggy lawns or areas with poor soil drainage.

• Downspout Tie-Ins – Connect your roof’s gutter system directly into underground drainage to prevent runoff from pooling near your foundation.

• Surface Drains – Ideal for patios, walkways, and pool decks where water tends to accumulate.

• Grading & Sloping Adjustments – Ensuring your property naturally directs water away from the home.

• Sump Drainage Systems – For areas prone to frequent flooding, we can install pump-assisted solutions.

The Installation Process

At Finn Irrigation, we follow a step-by-step process to make sure your system is effective and long-lasting:

1. Property Assessment – We evaluate problem areas, soil conditions, and water flow patterns.

2. Custom Design – Every drainage system is designed to match the unique needs of your home and landscape.

3. Professional Installation – Using quality materials and proven techniques, we ensure the system works properly for years to come.

4. Testing & Finishing – Once installed, we run water through the system to confirm efficiency and make sure the surface areas are restored neatly.

Long-Term BenefitS

Investing in storm drainage is more than just solving puddles—it’s a way to protect your entire property. With proper drainage, you’ll enjoy:

• A healthier lawn and landscape

• Reduced risk of flooding or foundation damage

• Fewer insects and standing water issues

• Increased curb appeal and home value

• Peace of mind during Florida’s heavy rains

Maintenance & Care

While storm drainage systems are generally low-maintenance, periodic care ensures maximum efficiency. We recommend:

• Clearing debris from catch basins and grates

• Inspecting for clogs after major storms

• Flushing French drains periodically to maintain flow

• Checking that gutter tie-ins remain clear

At Finn Irrigation, we can also schedule maintenance visits to make sure your system continues protecting your property year after year.
