Water drainage can be a real problem for you lawn and parking areas. Wet spots in your yard are a nuisance and an eyesore. Grass will die if it’s underwater for too long. You can’t mow over wet areas, and everyone tracks mud into the house. Incorrect slopes around your home can even cause water to flow right into your house or seep into the basement. Proper drainage is a must. There are many types of drain systems that can solve the problem and Glenn Mechanical knows how to help you determine the correct one to alleviate your water drainage challenges.
Water naturally flows downhill on the path of least resistance. A french drain uses that fact to guide water away from your home, keeping it flood free. With a french drain, water will flow down a sloped trench filled with round gravel and into a pipe that takes the water some distance from your home. The water would be taken to the street, a well, a ditch, or some other low part of your property that you choose.
You know you need a french drain if you are getting water in your basement, your yard is consistently soggy, or you are building a retaining wall on the side of a hill. Our technicians at Glenn Mechanical understand the mechanics behind french drains and can have them installed on your property quickly and efficiently to keep your home safe and dry.
Storm drains are designed to keep your parking lot, street, sidewalk, and other impervious surfaces free of flooding. You don't want your offices to be overrun with excess rain water due to a lack of proper draining outside. When a storm hits, you want the rain to drain into the main water line and not pool into your place of business while carrying trash and debris with it. Give Glenn Mechanical a call. We can determine where a storm drain should be installed, and have it installed properly.
If your home does not have gutters, rain can run off your roof beating your well-kept landscape to ruins. It can also settle against your house, seeping into your basement and causing flooding and mold. Avoiding these expensive emergencies are easy. By calling on our experts at Glenn Mechanical, you can have your existing gutter system properly equipped with proper drainage through an underground pipe to the main drain line. You can trust us to do the job with quality to keep you from worrying about flooding on your property.

We can talk you through options for catch basins, risers, and pop-up drainage emitters that would fit your landscaping needs.
