Poor property drainage is more than just a nuisance—it’s a direct threat to your home’s foundation, landscape, and overall value. From basement flooding and soil erosion to costly structural damage, neglecting water management leads to severe long-term problems.
At ASG Dirtworx, we specialize in providing effective, customized drainage control services. Whether you are addressing a complex flooding issue on an existing property or planning water flow for a new construction site, we deliver lasting, high-quality solutions designed to protect your land from the elements.
Our Comprehensive Drainage Control Solutions
Targeted Water Diversion: French Drains and Regrading
We use both piped and natural solutions to guide water away from vulnerable areas:
French Drains: We build French drains with rigid, perforated pipe set in washed stone, not the thin corrugated “flex” pipe commonly sold at big box stores. Rigid pipe holds its slope, resists crushing, and is far less likely to clog or collapse over time, which means better flow and a longer service life. We excavate a proper trench, line it with filter fabric, install the pipe and stone, and discharge water to a safe outlet to protect foundations, tie in downspouts, and dry out soggy areas.
Swales & Regrading: Sometimes the most efficient fix is reshaping the land itself. We cut shallow swales or regrade low spots to naturally redirect surface runoff, ensuring water flows where it should without the need for extensive piping. This is often the simplest and most sustainable solution.
Driveway Security and Erosion Control
Protecting high-traffic areas and vulnerable slopes from water damage is critical to maintaining your property’s structural integrity.
Driveway Drainage: We install culverts, aprons, and drainage ditches designed to keep driveways from washing out. If your gravel drive suffers from ruts or standing water, adding proper drainage ensures longevity and a smooth surface.
Erosion Control: For slopes, retaining walls, and vulnerable soils, we use stabilization techniques to keep topsoil in place. This includes installing erosion mats, check dams, or riprap (large angular stone) to prevent washout and compromise of the land's stability.
Our 5-Step Drainage Solution Process
Transparency and meticulous execution are core to our service. Most jobs are completed efficiently within 1–3 days following this proven process:
Consult & Diagnose: We begin with an on-site visit to walk the property, observe current water flow patterns, and review downspouts, soil types, and slopes to diagnose the root cause of the issue.
Design: We match the perfect system—whether it’s a French drain, a swale, a driveway culvert, or a combination of methods—to your specific drainage challenges.
Install: Our team manages all excavation, laying down fabric, stone, and pipe, with careful attention to proper slope and elevation to guarantee water flows correctly.
Restore: We ensure the fix blends seamlessly into your property by backfilling trenches, seeding disturbed areas, or applying stone as needed for clean landscape restoration.
Final Walkthrough: We confirm the water is flowing precisely as designed and conduct a final review to ensure you are completely satisfied and all questions are answered.

FAQs
-
If water is running across the surface and pooling in low spots, regrading is often the simplest fix.
If the area stays spongy/wet for days or you have seepage, a French drain may be needed to relieve saturated soil.
We assess the water source, slope, and soil conditions on-site and recommend the most efficient solution.
-
We use low-disturbance equipment whenever possible and plan access to minimize impact.
Any areas we open for drainage lines are graded back cleanly and restored so the site looks finished when we’re done.
-
It depends on scope. Under Georgia's Erosion and Sedimentation Act, any land-disturbing activity over one acre requires an erosion and sediment control plan that meets GSWCC (Georgia Soil and Water Conservation Commission) standards — this applies statewide regardless of county.
For smaller projects, county-level permits vary. ASG Dirtworx is GSWCC-certified and can help you understand what your project requires. Call (770) 318-1032.

Most residential drainage projects take 1–3 days, depending on access and scope. Larger or more complex systems can take several days to a couple of weeks, especially if weather or inspections are involved.
