Drainage System Installation and Repair

Every yard and home faces unique challenges when it comes to managing water. From groundwater pressing against foundations to surface water pooling after storms, the right drainage system can protect your property and keep outdoor spaces usable. Logan Services installs and repairs a variety of drainage systems to address these problems.

Drain Tile Systems

Residential tile drain

If water keeps finding its way into your basement, drain tile systems provide peace of mind.

Drain tile systems capture groundwater before it seeps inside, keeping your belongings safe and your foundation secure.

Benefits of Drain Tile Systems:

  • Keeps Basements Dry and Usable: Protects your finished or unfinished basement from unwanted water.
  • Protects Your Foundation From Long-Term Damage: Reduces hydrostatic pressure that can crack walls and floors.
  • Reduces Stress for Homeowners During Heavy Rains: Provides peace of mind when storms hit.

French Drains

Tired of dealing with soggy spots in your lawn or water seeping toward your basement? A French drain may be the solution.

French drains use perforated piping surrounded by gravel to redirect groundwater away from your home, avoiding the problems caused by standing water, slippery lawns, and basement dampness.

French Drain Advantages:

  • Keeps Lawns Usable After Storms: Prevents waterlogging that makes yards unusable.
  • Reduces Basement Moisture Risks: Keeps your belongings safe from dampness.
  • Helps Preserve Landscaping: Protects flower beds, shrubs, and outdoor features.

Yard Drains & Catch Basins

Pooling water near patios or walkways can ruin outdoor spaces and create safety hazards. Yard drains are designed to collect surface water and move it safely away from your home, helping to protect foundations, landscaping, and outdoor living areas from water damage.

Catch Basins

Catch basins are the most visible part of a yard drain system. They are containers set at ground level with a grate on top that allows water and debris to flow in. Once collected, the water is directed into underground pipes that carry it away from your home. Catch basins are essential for preventing puddles, protecting foundations, and keeping outdoor areas safe and dry.

When Yard Drains Are Needed:

  • Frequent Puddling Near Patios or Walkways: Yard drains collect and redirect surface water so outdoor areas remain safe and usable.
  • Poorly Graded Landscapes: Catch basins help manage water where slopes or low spots allow it to pool near your home.
  • Excess Runoff During Heavy Rainstorms: These systems handle sudden surges of water, keeping it away from your foundation and outdoor spaces.

Downspout Extensions

Roof runoff can overwhelm your foundation if downspouts stop too close to the house. Downspout extensions carry that water farther out, helping to prevent leaks, soil erosion, and costly repairs. Watch for signs like water pooling around downspouts, soil washing away near the foundation, or dampness along basement walls—these indicate your downspouts may need repair or replacement.

Downspout Extension Benefits:

  • Prevents Basement Seepage: Keeps water from leaking into basements.
  • Protects Foundations and Patios: Avoids cracks and shifting caused by water.
  • Preserves Landscaping: Stops mulch and soil from washing away in heavy rain.

Dry Wells

When puddles never seem to go away, dry wells provide an underground solution. They collect water and let it soak into the soil gradually, restoring usable yard space and eliminating mosquito-friendly standing water.

Why Install a Dry Well?

  • Eliminates Longstanding Puddles: Stops water from collecting in low spots and keeps your yard dry.
  • Restores Outdoor Spaces for Family Use After Rain: Makes lawns and patios usable again quickly.
  • Protects Gardens and Landscaping From Excess Water: Prevents damage to plants, mulch, and soil health.
  • Manages Roof and Landscape Runoff: Directs excess water away from your property and back into the ground safely.

Channel Drains (Trench Drains)

Driveways, patios, and walkways that don’t drain properly can create constant frustration for homeowners. Channel drains are long, narrow grates set into the ground that quickly collect surface water and send it into underground piping.

This type of trench drain is especially effective in areas where water flows toward the house or across flat hardscapes, helping to prevent flooding, protect property, and keep outdoor areas safe to use.

Best Uses for Channel Drains (Trench Drains):

  • Driveways Sloped Toward Garages: Prevents water from flowing into garages and causing damage.
  • Pool Decks and Patios: Keep these entertainment areas dry, safe, and ready for use.
  • Walkways With Poor Natural Drainage: Eliminates slippery, unsafe conditions for family and visitors.

Septic and Well Services

Septic and well systems are critical parts of many Ohio homes, especially in rural areas without access to city utilities. When these systems fail, the results can be disruptive—from sewage backups in the yard to inconsistent water flow inside the house. Logan Services provides expert repair and replacement of septic drain lines and well components so homeowners can count on safe wastewater management and a steady, reliable water supply every day.

Septic Drain Line Installation and Replacement

septic line repair

Failing septic drain lines can create serious health and property risks. Our team installs and replaces septic drain lines and septic field drain lines to keep wastewater moving safely away from your home.

Please Note: We do not install or replace septic tanks or provide vacuum truck maintenance services.

Septic Drain Line Solutions Include:

  • New Drain Line Installation: We install septic drain lines to safely carry wastewater away from your home and prevent backups.
  • Replacement of Failing Drain Fields: When drain fields stop absorbing water properly, we replace them to restore safe, effective wastewater management.
  • Professional Excavation and Backfilling: Our team carefully excavates and backfills the site, ensuring the system is installed correctly and your yard is left stable.

Water Well Services

When you live in a rural home that is not connected to city water, a failing well system can leave your family without reliable water. Our plumbers repair and replace pressure tanks, switches, tees, and well pumps to keep your household supplied with steady water.

Important Context: Logan Services replaces existing well components but does not install brand new wells.

Well Services We Provide Include:

  • Pressure Tank Replacement: The pressure tank helps maintain steady water pressure in your home. If it fails, you may notice inconsistent flow at faucets and showers.
  • Switch and Tee Repair & Replacement: The switch and tee connect and control your well system. When these components break down, your pump may short-cycle or fail to start.
  • Well Pump Replacement: The pump is the heart of your well system. If your water stops flowing or pressure drops dramatically, the pump may need replacement. 

Property Restoration After Excavation

We know excavation can disrupt your yard and leave you worried about how it will look once the work is finished. That’s why Logan Services goes beyond just solving drainage issues—we also take care of restoring your property. After we complete a project, our team reseeds, grades, and levels the affected areas so your yard is safe, attractive, and ready to enjoy again. Our goal is to protect your investment in both your home and your outdoor spaces.

Restoration Services Include:

  • Reseeding grass to quickly bring back curb appeal and greenery
  • Grading to smooth uneven surfaces and improve water flow
  • Leaving your outdoor space safe, level, and family‑friendly

Why Choose Logan Services Over Landscapers or Waterproofing Companies?

Many homeowners don’t know where to turn when they see water problems around their property. Landscapers often provide valuable services like grading, planting, and general yard care, but they don’t always specialize in plumbing-related solutions such as septic drain line replacement or water well service. Logan Services brings these specialized services together with drainage system installation, making us a true one-stop shop. Waterproofing companies, on the other hand, usually focus on treating basement moisture without addressing the outdoor drainage issues that cause it.

Logan Services acts as a one‑stop shop for outdoor drainage issues—whether it’s French drains, trench drains, yard drains, or downspout extensions—our team corrects the underlying problems that allow water to threaten your home and property. With more than 55 years of experience helping Ohio homeowners, licensed plumbers on staff, and a long-standing reputation for reliable service, Logan Services brings both expertise and trust to every project.
