Drip Irrigation, Drainage, & Landscape Lighting Services in Dorchester

If your Dorchester property suffers from poor water drainage, you need one or more dedicated drainage systems to protect your landscaping and the foundation of your home or building. At Andy’s we specialize in designing, installing, and maintaining the following types of drainage solutions:

• Catch basins. Many landscaping drainage systems depend on catch basins, which are situated at low points throughout a property. The large basin collects excess surface water, and the grate on top of it filters out debris that can clog the drainage pipe. Connected drainage pipes typically direct water toward a larger, municipal storm drainage system.

• French drains. A French drain consists of a large gravel-filled trench that contains a perforated drainage pipe. The pipe collects excess surface water while filtering out debris and directs that water toward a larger municipal drainage system.

• Channel drains. A channel drain functions much like a gutter system, but rather than being attached to a building, a channel drain sits in the ground. It features a wide channel that’s designed to collect water over large areas, such as driveways, pool decks, walkways, and parking lots.
• Sump pumps. A sump pump is designed to pump excess subsurface water away from the foundation of a building. The pump itself is situated inside a large sump pit that sits at the lowest point of a building. The pit collects water, and the pump diverts that water away from the building.
