Don’t suffer with a soggy yard! We offer standing water solutions!

Depending on where you have standing water, it can result in anything from a mosquito haven to moisture and humidity issues, or even water damage, inside your Raleigh, North Carolina home. At Laurdane Associates, we offer various standing water solutions to combat these problems and the potential long-term effects.

We are the area experts in troubleshooting standing water problems. With our experience in detective work for irrigation and drainage systems, we can quickly ascertain the cause of the problem and recommend effective standing water solutions. One solution involves installing an appropriate drainage system so that water is diverted safely and you will no longer have a damp crawlspace causing several issues inside your home. French drains are a commonly used option that absorbs sub-surface water so there is less chance for pooling water.

Kudos to you!

Yard re-grading is another technique that might be needed. If your yard’s grade permits water to flow toward your house instead of away from it, this situation must be rectified for an effective standing water solution. If your standing water is related to your gutter and downspout system, we can resolve this situation with downspout routing to take the excess water to a location further from your home.

If you would like to know more about our standing water solutions and learn which method would be best for your home, contact us today to schedule an appointment. We are happy to address any questions you have and make a recommendation that resolves the water problem you are experiencing.

Ethan exceeded expectations in every way at every opportunity, and I 100% recommend him. I cleared my lot and was installing a first-time lawn, requiring advice on topsoil, grading, runoff / swales, sprinkler system designs, installation, etc.. After researching the best irrigation companies, with Ethan making the short list, I met each of them on site. Most were eager to get the job, shrugging it off as an easy project they surely could do, but Ethan was different. He came in an older van wearing a Crocodile Dundee hat (which I mention because I misjudged the book by the cover, and I wouldn't want anyone else to do the same), and walked around the yard thoroughly. He checked slope, root systems, asked about plants, garden zones, grass types, timelines, and also about me and my family (he's such a nice guy). He said he wouldn't be the cheapest nor would he be the most expensive, and encouraged me to pick his brain for problem solving while he was here, because he liked that part and wanted to help while he could even if I didn't move forward with him. A natural teacher, Ethan explained anything I asked about with detail and patience. He worked around our schedule, coordinated with our other contractors (grading and stump grinding), helped spread dirt in a swale to speed up the process so I could seed before the first frost, and paid close attention to the little details like making sure sprayheads reached target areas, the water sensor was level on the roof, and the backflow preventer was neat and trim. His crew worked quickly when it was time to trench for the pipes, and they were very polite and respectful of our property. At their suggestion, multiple weekend days were taken advantage of to keep the project on schedule. As with any new install, a few issues came up and Ethan was there same day to address. His pricing was excellent, with a line-item approach for full transparency (so refreshing), and asked me to approve any changes beforehand. Final cost was right where he said it would be, and I couldn't be happier. He even showed me how to winterize the system and adjust sprinkler arcs so I could be self-sufficient. Ethan always asked how my wife and son were, by first name (and I only told him once on the first day), and genuinely cared about the answer. That guy in the old van with the silly hat easily was the most dependable, hardest working, level-headed, and best contractor I've hired in the state. Don't even bother asking anyone else, pick Ethan and know you're in experienced, capable, considerate hands. 5/5.

Laurdane Associates not only maintains our irrigation system, but turns out, unbeknown to us, had installed it 25+ years prior for the previous homeowner. They are hard workers and have installed/updated multiple new areas on our property in addition to Startup / Winterizing each year.

I used Ethan to install my first irrigation system 27 years ago. When it came time to install a new system in my new home I called on Ethan again. I am a satisfied customer again!

Laurdane solved several issues we had with water draining and pooling in crawl space. They improved both conditions to the point that they are no longer problems. The service was honest and straight forward, very profession and efficient. Service fee was reasonable to a quality job. Would call on them in the future is another issue arises.
