Drainage Solutions That Protect Your Property

At Ungrady Inc, we provide drainage solutions that help protect your yard, foundation, landscaping, and outdoor living spaces from standing water and runoff problems. In Northeast Ohio, heavy rain, clay soil, snow melt, and sloped lots can all cause water to collect where it should not. Over time, that extra water can damage grass, wash out mulch beds, create muddy areas, weaken hardscapes, and put pressure on your foundation. Our job is to find the source of the problem and build a drainage system that moves water away the right way.

We are a locally owned company serving Cleveland and surrounding areas, and our team brings 10 years of hands-on experience in excavation, grading, site prep, and landscape problem-solving. Because drainage issues are usually tied to the shape of the land, soil conditions, and how the property was built, we take a practical approach based on real site conditions. We do not guess. We look at how water flows across the property, where it collects, what structures are at risk, and what solution will perform best over time.

What drainage problems we solve

Drainage issues can show up in a lot of ways. Some are obvious after a storm, while others slowly get worse over the years. We help homeowners and property managers address problems such as:

• Water pooling in the yard or low spots
• Soggy lawn areas that stay wet for days
• Water collecting near the foundation
• Soil erosion on slopes and around beds
• Downspouts dumping water too close to the house
• Wet areas around patios, walkways, and retaining walls
• Mud washing onto driveways or hardscapes
• Poor grading that sends water toward the home

If your yard stays soft, water backs up during rain, or you notice washout around your home, those are signs the drainage system may need attention. Fixing the issue early can help prevent larger repair costs later.

How our drainage service works

Every property is different, so we start by evaluating the layout of the land, elevation changes, runoff patterns, and existing problem areas. We look at how roof water, surface water, and neighboring runoff affect the site. Then we recommend a drainage plan that fits the property and the budget. Some yards need one focused fix. Others need a full drainage correction that combines grading, collection, and discharge.

Depending on the site, our drainage solutions may include:

• Regrading and slope correction to help surface water flow away from the home and usable yard areas
• French drains to collect and redirect groundwater and surface water from wet zones
• Downspout drainage extensions to move roof runoff farther away from the foundation
• Catch basins and yard drains to capture standing water in low areas
• Swales and drainage channels to guide water naturally across the property
• Drain tile installation where subsurface drainage is needed
• Erosion control solutions to protect slopes, beds, and landscape features

Because we also handle excavation, site prep, retaining walls, and patios, we understand how drainage ties into the full landscape. That matters when water is affecting a wall, undermining a patio, or making an area impossible to maintain. We can plan the work so the drainage fix supports the whole property, not just one small section.

Why proper drainage matters

Good drainage does more than dry out a wet yard. It helps protect the parts of your property that cost the most to repair. Water that sits too close to the home can lead to foundation concerns, basement moisture, settlement, and damage to landscaping. On the surface, poor drainage can ruin turf, stress plantings, create mosquito-prone puddles, and make outdoor spaces hard to use. If you have invested in hardscaping, grading and water control are especially important to help protect that investment.

A well-built drainage system can also improve how your property looks and functions. Your lawn can dry out faster after storms, planting beds stay cleaner, and walkways and patios are safer to use. In many cases, the biggest benefit is peace of mind when heavy rain moves through.

Our process and what to expect

We believe customers should understand what is being installed and why. When we come out, we take time to explain the issue in clear terms and talk through the options. We focus on solutions that are durable, practical, and matched to the layout of your property. If excavation is needed, we plan the work carefully to limit disruption and leave the site clean and professional.

Our drainage work is built around long-term performance. That means paying attention to slope, outlet location, water volume, and how each part of the system connects. A drainage fix is only as good as the plan behind it. We use our field experience and project knowledge to make sure the system is designed to actually move water where it needs to go.

As a locally owned company, we take pride in high-quality service and honest communication. Much of our work comes from strong referrals, and we document projects with detailed photos and drone footage so customers can see the quality of our work. We want you to feel confident that the job is being done correctly from the ground up.

Ideal for residential and light commercial properties

Our drainage solutions are a strong fit for homeowners dealing with wet yards, runoff, erosion, or foundation concerns. We also help improve drainage around landscape features, hardscapes, and maintained commercial spaces where standing water creates appearance or safety issues. Whether the problem is in one section of the yard or across the whole property, we can help identify the cause and recommend the right fix.
