Dry Well Usage

A dry well is needed when your gutters are clean and the entire drainage system is working properly BUT the drainage does not dissipate and pools in the yard.

​This standing water needs to be collected and routed away from the house.

PROBLEM:  The gutters are working fine but the water doesn't or can't drain away from the house.
​

SOLUTION: The gutter/downspouts feed the dry well.  The dry well collects the water away from the house and then dissipates it farther away.

Dry Well Installation

​First - we locate the dry well in the best position - away from the house.  Then we DIG !

​Then, we lay a stone base for drainage and bury the dry well in the prepared hole.

The dry well is connected to the drainage system (downspout) with PVC pipe. Next, the hole is filled with more stone and soil.

Finally, the yard is returned to its original state.
