Water is one of the biggest threats to your foundation. Without proper drainage, rainwater can pool around your home and seep into the soil, putting pressure on your foundation walls, crawl space, and basement floor.
At Tulsa Foundation Pros, we specialize in foundation drainage system services that redirect water away from your home, protecting its structure, value, and longevity.

Tulsa’s soil, rich in clay, expands when wet and contracts when dry. This makes your home especially vulnerable to shifting foundations if water isn’t drained properly. A drainage system is your best defense against erosion, movement, and long-term foundation damage.
At Tulsa Foundation Pros, we offer a full range of custom drainage system installations. We inspect your property’s slope, grading, and water flow patterns to recommend the right solution for long-term performance and protection.
A French drain is a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel that redirects groundwater away from your home. It’s ideal for homes with soggy lawns or water pooling near the foundation.
Key Benefits:
These are visible, grated drains placed in low-lying areas of your yard or near driveways. They collect and divert rainwater quickly during heavy storms.
Great for:
Channel drains and trench drains are long, narrow drainage systems that span driveways, garages, and patios. These are designed to handle wide surface areas and quickly move water away.
How they help:
Improper yard grading causes water to pool around your foundation. We reshape your lawn and soil levels to ensure water drains away.
What we do:
Sump pumps collect water from around your foundation and actively pump it away from your home. They are a must-have for homes with basements or crawl spaces.
Included Features:

Water drainage isn’t just about preventing puddles in your yard. Poor drainage can lead to:
Rainwater washes away the soil supporting your foundation, weakening its integrity and creating instability beneath your home.
Standing water adds significant pressure to foundation walls, often causing cracking, bowing, or shifting over time.
Even minor pooling near the foundation can seep in and lead to major water damage inside your home.
Moisture-rich environments in your crawl space or basement are breeding grounds for mold and mildew, which can impact air quality and health.
Over time, these problems can result in costly foundation repair. With a professionally installed drainage system, you eliminate water issues before they damage your home.
