Drainage Systems and Retaining Walls

Since 1993, Southern Drainage Systems LLC has specialized in providing Drainage Systems and Retaining Walls.

 The owner of the company will meet you on site, listen and design a system that will permanently solve your flooding, drainage or erosion concern.

We will design a Drainage System specifically for your property to prevent surface flooding and subsurface water from entering your home thru the concrete slab or foundation. Unlike other companies that offer drainage systems as a side service, drainage systems and seawalls/retaining walls  have been our primary business since the beginning.

We have installed over 20,000 ft. of Drainage Systems and 4,000 ft. of seawalls and retaining walls.

• The owner is on every job site, normally from start to finish.
• Drainage Systems – You receive a written 7 year Drainage System Guarantee upon completion.
• Most companies guess or eyeball slopes, elevations, and measurements. We are knowledgeable with all types of drainage systems and will recommend the one that will provide you with the best permanent drainage solution. We use a laser to ensure the drainage system we design is pitched perfectly and is an accurate and permanent solution for your drainage problems. Many companies are unfamiliar with proper installation and materials. They recommend pumps when a gravity system would work better. They recommend French drains, then install incorrect pipe with improper pitch and no fabric to protect the system. Our systems last over 20 years.
• Seawall and Retaining Walls – You receive a written 15 year Wall Guarantee upon completion.
• Sea Walls and Retaining Walls – Durable long lasting vinyl and composite sheets are driven deep into the ground with impact hammers and water jetting then anchored into the earth behind the wall. Walls can also be constructed from local limestone rock or concrete rip rap. We provide you with a written 15 year Guarantee on Retaining Walls and are designed to last over 50 years.
• Erosion Control – Designed and engineered to eliminate your erosion. Creeks, streams, a pond, steep banks and concentrated water causing erosion on your property. We design and solve the erosion using engineered designs with rock, fabric, sheet pile, geo grid, concrete mat, gabeons, geo tube, underground drains, spillways, french drains and vegetation for surface stabilization.
• We have a long list of satisfied customers and would encourage you to contact several of our references before choosing any drainage contractor.
• You take pride in your property and we leave your property neat upon completion.
