Residential Drainage Solutions

Protecting Austin homes from water damage, foundation problems, and landscape erosion. Over 40 years of solving drainage problems for Texas homeowners.

Water problems around your home can threaten your foundation, destroy your landscape, and create safety hazards. Scott Lockhart Drainage Contractor has been solving residential drainage challenges across Austin and Central Texas since the early 1980s.

Whether you are dealing with standing water after every rain, a soggy yard that never dries out, or water pooling against your foundation, we identify the source of the problem and design a lasting solution. Our residential services include French drains, site grading, below-ground waterproofing, sump pumps, retaining walls, irrigation systems, and erosion control.

Every residential project starts with a thorough drainage consultation and inspection. We assess your property's soil, slope, water flow patterns, and existing systems before recommending any work. That way, you know exactly what you are getting and why.
