West Michigan-based, proven drainage solutions for your water challenges.

 

AJS Groundcare understands unwanted water can cause tremendous damage and result in expensive repairs. Drainage issues are stressful, but when partnering with AJS Groundcare, you'll have peace of mind knowing the drainage solution will be professionally installed the first time.

 

The first and most important step is to understand the root cause and how to permanently redirect the water. The solution is often a combination of drains (French, trench, storm, etc.) to capture the water, then redirection (grading, downspouts, drywell, sump pump) to eliminate wet yards, standing water, muddy area's, leaky basements, pool liner basin challenges, wash-outs and more.

French drain installation

FRENCH DRAIN

French Drains provide a natural void into which groundwater can drain. After digging an 18"-wide trench to the right depth, we line it with non-woven geotex fabric, which allows water to pass through, but not soil. After laying the drain tile, the trench is back-filled with washed stone providing excellent water evacuation, powered by gravity.
French Drains are an ideal solution for perpetually wet, muddy yards, soft or swampy ground, or other areas.

Trench drain finished installation

TRENCH DRAINS

Trench Drains are commonly installed where water is running (or sheeting) across a solid surface, typically concrete or asphalt driveways, etc.

A properly installed Trench Drain is pitched towards the discharge end, and the solid surface is pitched down towards the Trench Drain (usually on both sides). This effectively captures the water and directs it towards the discharge.

Water Storm Drain

STORM DRAINS

Storm drains (surface drain, run-off drain, etc.) provide a natural, gravity-driven solution for standing water collection. When installed properly with a leaf/debris basket, storm drains can be cleaned out and maintained for years of reliable performance.

Downspout finished installation

DOWNSPOUT CAPTURE

Capture water from your downspout using either direct or ground drain capture to redirect the water as needed. Redirecting water from downspouts is an ideal solution for eliminating wash-outs, pooling water near the structure, leaking basements, and more.

EROSION CONTROL & CULVERTS

AJS Groundcare installs culverts to control erosion, eliminate wash-outs, and facilitate water flow while maintaining usability.

Excavation

REGRADING AND EXCAVATION

Water can be naturally redirected by adjusting the grade away from structures or re-shaping the surface. Often, excavation solutions are used in conjunction with other drainage offerings to provide a complete solution.
