  • High water table
  • Condensation and sump pump discharge pipes

  • Natural underground springs 
  • Improper grading and very flat properties with poor drainage

Whether it is a solution with French drains, channel trench drains, catch basins, regrading, or sump pumps, we will let you know why your property is having water issues and how they need to be addressed to have a dry and usable yard again.

Is An Exterior Drain Going To Help?

There’s no doubt that exterior drains are an important part of your home. They help keep water away from the foundation and prevent flooding. An exterior drain is a system of pipes that carries water away from your home’s foundation. The system includes a series of perforated pipes that are buried around the perimeter of your home. These pipes are connected to the main drainage pipe, which runs to a lower point on your property. Water enters the perforated pipes and is carried away from your home through the main pipe.

The Effects Of Water Accumulation Without a Proper Drainage System

  • Water in the soil around your foundation can cause the soil to expand and put pressure on the foundation walls. This can lead to cracks in the foundation and damage to your home’s structure.
  • Water that seeps into the basement can damage belongings and create an ideal environment for mold growth. Molds can have various negative effects such as triggering allergies and respiratory problems.
  • Flooding is a very common problem if you have no proper drainage system. Floodwaters can damage your home, belongings, and your surroundings. This will then result in bigger problems such as accidents, health risks, and damage to your property.

Tiger C Construction LLC helps your home protect from these possible problems. By installing an exterior drain in Richmond VA, you are lessening the chance of these problems. exterior drains are important in every home. not just to avoid possible damage but also to prevent flooding.

This company was exceptional! A person always answered the phone. The workmanship could not have been better. Walter and his crew replaced 115 sq feet of granite kitchen countertops to quartz. I would highly recommend them!

David and his crew installed a dehumidifier in our underground garage. They were professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. They worked around our schedule, completed all paperwork for us, and gave me a walkthrough of the unit once I returned from out of state. I am very happy with the results and would recommend Tiger C Construction and David to everyone!!!

I received about 5 different quotes for my crawl space. Every company had a different strategy and the prices were all relatively similar but the one thing that stood out about Tiger C Construction was communication. I sent an email requesting an appointment and in a matter of minutes I received a email back and we had an appointment setup for later the same week. When Colin arrived at the exact time that was scheduled for the inspection he didn’t spend 20 mins trying to upsell me on everything. He gave me his honest feedback on what he would do which was a different strategy than the 15k quotes that included full encapsulation, new crawl space door, upcharged dehumidifier, etc. Colin took the time to answer all of my questions and said he’d send a quote on Monday morning. Sure enough, the quote was in my inbox on Monday morning. For me all the other companies I got quotes from didn’t do the simple things that makes me want to work with them: being honest and following through on what they said. Now for the work! Everything was completed in the two days that were scheduled. They showed up at the exact time they said they would and everything looks great. Would def recommend to anyone. They do all the little things right like showing up on time, being honest, and clear communication.

Our Exterior Drainage Solutions

Whether your property gets more underground water or surface water accumulation, both issues are addressed in similar ways. Every solution generally entails excavating a trench to redirect the water to a specific location to drain the water by gravity or into a sump pump if the property is too flat. The purpose of any drainage system or excavation is to “catch” the water before it accumulates in the specific areas to then redirect it elsewhere. We also do trench channel drains installation for garages that receive water!

Don’t worry about how your yard will look after we finish the job, we will be sure to clean up the excess soil and we will even put back any grass that was removed over the areas of excavation. Proper drainage of the property can help reduce the chances of water getting into your basements as well. If you are already experiencing water in your crawl space or basement, call us to schedule a free inspection to discuss whether an exterior or interior solution in Richmond, VA, will be best for your home!
