Drainage contractor for Miami and South Florida

South Florida floods because water has nowhere to go. We build the systems that give it somewhere, from a French drain beside a driveway to a full exfiltration trench under a public street, for owners, HOAs, GCs and agencies across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.

Our drainage work started in the public right-of-way, where Miami-Dade DERM and the municipality inspect every structure, every pipe joint and every foot of filter fabric. We bring that same construction to private parking lots and yards, because a drain that is built wrong fails the first time it rains hard.

Most drainage problems in Miami are not a lack of pipe. They are a parking lot graded to the wrong spot, a swale that was filled in, or a catch basin that was never connected to anything that drains. We diagnose it before we price it, and we tell you when a regrade will solve it cheaper than a trench.

Because we also pave and pour concrete, we do not leave you to find someone to put the road back. The trench gets backfilled, compacted and permanently restored in asphalt or concrete by our own crews.

What we do

Catch basins & inlets

Precast structures, grates and frames set to grade, connected to new or existing systems.

Exfiltration (French) trench

Perforated pipe, ballast rock and filter fabric trench systems that let stormwater percolate into the ground, the standard for Miami-Dade streets and lots.

Storm sewer pipe & structures

RCP and HDPE storm pipe, manholes, control structures and outfalls.

Yard & driveway drains

Channel drains, area drains and French drains for homes and small properties.

Swale regrading

Re-establishing swales that have been filled or compacted so the right-of-way drains the way it was designed.

Flood repair & regrading

Regrading parking lots and yards so water moves to the drain instead of to the front door.

For GCs and public agencies

We have installed drainage structures and exfiltration trench on Miami-Dade DTPW, Palmetto Bay and City of Miami roadway projects as a prime and as a sub. We know the DERM inspection sequence and can price storm structures, trench and restoration for your project within 48 hours.

For homeowners, HOAs and property managers

Flooding yard, driveway that holds water, or a condo lot that ponds at the entrance: we will come look, tell you whether the fix is grading, a drain or both, and give you one price including putting everything back.

Questions we get asked

What is an exfiltration trench?

An exfiltration trench, often called a French drain, is a perforated pipe set in a bed of coarse rock wrapped in filter fabric. Stormwater enters through catch basins, fills the trench and soaks into the ground. It is the primary drainage method for most streets and parking lots in Miami-Dade because our water table is high and there is often no outfall to connect to.

Why does my yard flood when the neighbor’s does not?

Usually grading. Over time, fill, landscaping and driveway additions change where water flows. A swale that was filled in or a driveway poured higher than the yard will send water the wrong way. A site visit tells us whether a regrade fixes it or whether you need a drain.

Do I need a permit for drainage work?

For anything in the right-of-way or connected to a public system, yes, and work on commercial property typically requires Miami-Dade DERM review. Small yard drains on private residential property often do not. We handle permitting when it is required.

Will you put the parking lot back after the trench?

Yes. Our own asphalt and concrete crews do the restoration, so the patch is compacted and matched to the existing pavement rather than left to a third company.
