French Drain and Yard Drainage in New Haven, IN
Fort Wayne Drainage Pros works throughout New Haven, Indiana, just east of Fort Wayne on the Maumee River. We are a licensed and insured drainage contractor installing french drains, burying downspout lines, setting catch basins, correcting grading, and running footing drains for homes across the city.
New Haven sits low on the Maumee, so the water table runs high and yards can flood fast. We drain that ground with perforated pipe bedded in washed #57 stone, wrapped in geotextile filter fabric, and sloped to daylight or a sump. A plain gravel trench with no fabric packs full of river silt and clay within a few years and stops moving water.
Being on the river cuts both ways here. The homes closest to the Maumee deal with a high water table that keeps basements damp and yards spongy long after the rain. The newer streets set back from the water sit on graded clay, where a settled grade and a downspout at the wall do most of the damage. The fix depends on which part of New Haven a house is in.
Our work in New Haven runs from french drain installation and exterior footing drains to catch basins and buried downspout lines. Every job starts with a free written estimate.
