Unlike other fields such as painting or lawn cutting where an errors can be easily fixed, omissions in the installation of an underground foundation drainage systems can in fact make a basement water problem worse. Upon discovering that a given system is not collecting and distributing the required water, that system will be dug out and replaced with another larger and deeper installation. This results in a total loss of the original project. Insist on viewing successful projects similar to your own when choosing a drainage contractor. Our knowledge, experience, and creativity will surely save you money and trouble in the long run.

Our company prides itself on designing and installing exterior, gravity based drainage systems that work better than expected, and will happily display before and after photos of our projects.

Steve Therianos, who has earned his masters in Civil Engineering with a concentration in Water Resource Engineering, is our principal designer. Specific areas of graduate level study include:

• Geotechnicals
• Pipe flow hydraulics
• Hydraulic conductivity of soils
• Stormwater Management
• Channel and Reservoir routing
• Stormwater regulations and Best Management Practices (BMP’s)
• Ground water hydrology and contaminant transport
• Ground water flow equations
• Applied Hydrology
• Properties of the subsurface
• Leachate collection systems for MSW landfills
• Water Treatment
• Wastewater Treatment

Each system is individually designed to meet the clients goals and budget, Consideration is given to existing soil types, hydraulic conductivity of the soil, groundwater flow, slope length and elevation changes, impervious coverage, seepage tank capacity and depths, foundation depths, and peak flow rates. Reasoning, judgment, and creative thought are combined with years of experience to ensure that your solution will work better than you ever thought possible.

Our systems are guaranteed to keep water out of your home's basement walls and floor. Only an exterior gravity and membrane system can achieve this. Be smart and hire a leader and company that will design and install your foundation drainage system right the first time. While our service may cost more than interior or poorly designed systems that will eventually fail, it is certainly cheaper than paying twice. We look forward to serving you with a design and installation tailored to your individual needs.

Sincerely,

Steve Therianos
