What We Offer

We offer a range of drainage solutions to meet the needs of our clients, including:

    A popular option for managing excess water in your yard. French drains are trenches filled with gravel and a perforated pipe that redirects water away from your property.

    These are typically installed in low-lying areas of your yard and designed to collect excess water and divert it to a drainage system.

    If you're dealing with water in your basement or crawl space, a sump pump can be an effective solution. We can install a sump pump system that will automatically pump water out of your home and away from your foundation.

  • What are common drainage problems?

    If you own a property in Milwaukee, there are several common drainage problems that you may encounter. One of the most prevalent issues is standing water in your yard, which can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

    • Poor soil drainage, 
    • Uneven grading 
    • Blocked or damaged drainage systems

    This standing water can not only make your yard unattractive, but it can also create a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other pests. Additionally, standing water can seep into your home's foundation, causing damage over time.


    Another common drainage problem in Milwaukee is basement flooding. This can occur when heavy rains or melting snow cause water to pool around your foundation, eventually seeping into your basement.


    This can be a major issue, as it can cause damage to your home's foundation and lead to mould and mildew growth.

  • Why proper drainage is important on your property?

    Proper drainage is crucial to the health of your property. Without it, excess water can cause a range of problems, from soil erosion to foundation damage. Not to mention, standing water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other pests, putting your family's health at risk.


    If you're dealing with any of the following issues, it's time to call in the professionals at D R Excavation:

    • Water pooling in your yard after rain
    • Soggy or muddy patches in your lawn
    • Standing water around your foundation
    • Water seeping into your basement or crawl space
