What we install
French drains
Perforated PVC in a crushed-rock envelope wrapped with filter fabric. Sized to your lot, soil, and discharge point — designed for Texas clay, not a kit install.
Surface drains & catch basins
Yard inlets that capture pooling water and downspout overflow before it sits against a slab or floods a patio.
Downspout extensions
Buried PVC runs that carry roof water out past the foundation perimeter — the most common fix for chronic foundation moisture on Azle lots.
Regrading & swales
Reshape the grade so water flows the right direction. Critical when original grading points toward the house or creates low spots that never drain.
Acreage drainage
Larger-scale drainage on Azle acreage lots — interceptor drains, swales, and discharge routing for properties where surface water needs to go somewhere specific.
Azle drainage FAQs
How much does a French drain cost in Azle?
Most residential French drains in Azle run $30-70 per linear foot installed, depending on depth, soil conditions, and discharge routing. Full systems typically fall in the $2,500-$7,000 range. Acreage drainage systems vary more widely. Every quote is itemized.
Does Azle clay soil cause drainage problems?
Yes — the expansive clay across western Tarrant County absorbs water slowly and becomes effectively impermeable when saturated. Water moves laterally across the surface rather than soaking in, which means any low point collects standing water after heavy rain. French drains give it a designed path out.
Do I need a permit for drainage work in Azle?
Standard residential French drains and surface drains in Azle generally do not require a permit. Work that affects drainage easements, right-of-way, or significant grade changes may need review. We verify before starting any work.
Can you fix an Azle acreage property with poor drainage?
Yes. Larger lots need larger drainage solutions — interceptor drains along slope breaks, swales to route water to a discharge point, and sometimes dry creek beds to handle high-volume flow. Lucas walks every site in person to design the right system for the specific property.
How long does French drain installation take in Azle?
A standard 80-120 linear foot residential system takes 2-3 days. Larger acreage systems can take a week or more depending on scope. The written proposal includes a full schedule.
