Drainage Solutions Designed for Louisville Homes

Every property has a unique layout, soil condition, and water flow pattern. Because of this, drainage solutions must be customized to address the specific challenges of each home.


Best Waterproofing LLC installs several types of drainage systems designed to manage water effectively and protect the foundation.

Channel Drains

Channel drains capture large amounts of surface water and redirect it away from problem areas.

Trench Drains

Ideal for driveways, patios, walkways, and other hardscape surfaces where water tends to collect.

Surface Drains

Surface drains collect standing water before it can damage your yard or foundation.

Dry Wells

Dry wells provide an underground location for water to safely disperse into the surrounding soil.

Pop-Up Emitters

Pop-up emitters release collected water away from the home in a controlled manner.

Downspout Extensions

Downspout extensions help prevent roof runoff from collecting near the foundation.

Curtain Drains

Curtain drains intercept groundwater before it reaches areas where it can create drainage problems.
