Long Island Drainage & Drywells

Drainage & Drywells

Drywell installation, trench drains and foundation drainage that stop standing water and wet basements.

Overview

Drainage & Drywells done right, the first time

Standing water in the yard, a soggy lawn after every storm, or water pooling against your foundation all come from the same problem: water with nowhere to go. ORA Construction excavates and installs properly sized drywells, trench drains, downspout tie-ins and foundation drainage across Long Island, then restores the grade, lawn and hardscape so the fix is invisible.

What's included

  • Drywell installation with infiltration rings and filter fabric
  • Downspout and leader tie-ins piped underground to the drywell
  • Trench drains along foundations, driveways and patios
  • Excavation and regrading to pitch water away from the house
  • Lawn, paver and masonry restoration after the drainage work

Our process

1. Water Assessment

We walk the property after rain, trace where water collects and check soil and grade.

2. Excavate & Install

Trenching, drywell placement, piping and stone backfill sized to your roof and lot.

3. Restore

Backfill, compaction and regrading, then lawn, pavers or masonry put back.

Drywell installation with infiltration rings and filter fabric is one of the most common reasons Long Island homeowners call us — and the area where shortcuts cost the most over a decade.— ORA Construction project lead

What Long Island homeowners say

Answers

Drainage & Drywells — FAQs

How do I know if I need a drywell?+

If water stands in your yard for hours after rain, your downspouts dump against the foundation, or your basement gets damp after storms, a drywell is usually the fix.

Do I need a permit for a drywell on Long Island?+

Many Long Island towns require one, especially when drywells are tied to roof leaders. We check with your town and handle the paperwork.
