Water Drainage Services in Orange County, CA

Yard, Foundation & Hardscape Drainage by White Glove Plumbing

Standing water, soggy lawns, and wet crawlspaces aren’t just annoying—they threaten foundations, invite pests, and drive interior moisture and mold. White Glove Plumbing designs and installs water drainage systems that move stormwater and irrigation runoff away from structures and living areas—cleanly, code-compliantly, and built to last.

Water Drainage Services

Diagnose and solve drainage issues with grading, drains, and maintenance that move water from structures, prevent pooling, and protect foundations and soil.

01

Mainline drain cleaning (stoppage removal)

Clear main sewer stoppages fast with augers or hydro-jetting to restore flow, prevent backups, and reduce future clogs with a camera check and guidance.

02

Kitchen drain cleaning (grease/clog removal)

Remove grease and buildup from kitchen lines with safe methods that restore fast drainage, reduce odors, and help prevent future clogs in sinks and disposals.

03

Shower/tub drain cleaning

Cut through hair, soap, and scale to restore tub and shower drainage; we verify trap condition, test flow, and advise on strainers to prevent repeats.

04

Floor drain cleaning (garage/parking)

Clear garage and parking floor drains of sand, debris, and oils; restore drainage, reduce slip hazards, and protect adjacent areas from flooding or odors.

05

Storm drain cleaning

Remove leaves, sediment, and debris from storm drains to restore capacity before storms, reducing flooding risk and protecting pavement and structures.

06

French drain installation

Install perforated pipe, gravel, and fabric to intercept groundwater and route it away, relieving yard saturation and foundation pressure for drier soils.

07

Yard/area drain installation

Design and install area drains and channels that capture surface water and direct it to discharge points, preventing pooling, erosion, and damage to hardscapes.

08

Downspout drain connection & clearing

Connect downspouts to buried drains or clear existing lines to move roof water off-site, reducing splashback, foundation erosion, and puddling near entries.

09

Drain line descaling (cast iron)

Mechanically descale cast iron with specialty tools to remove rust scale, improve flow, and prepare pipes for lining or extend lifespan with preventative care.

10

Catch basin cleaning

Vacuum and clear catch basins of sediment and trash; reset grates and verify outlets so systems capture runoff efficiently and reduce blockages during storms.

11

Quarterly/annual hydro-jetting plans (HOAs)

Scheduled hydro-jetting keeps lines free of grease, roots, and scale; service reduces emergencies, improves reliability, and protects shared systems year-round.

12

Camera inspection with PDF/video report for property managers

High-resolution camera inspections locate defects and verify repairs; receive a PDF/video report with recommendations for budgeting and preventive maintenance.

What Is Water Drainage?

Water drainage is the controlled capture, conveyance, and discharge of surface and subsurface water away from structures and high-use areas. Typical systems combine surface collection (catch basins, channel drains), subsurface lines (French/infiltration drains), downspout tie-ins, and when needed, sump pumps to lift water to a safe outlet. Good drainage lowers moisture at the foundation, protects slabs and hardscape, and keeps yards usable.

Quick Checklist (What to Do Now)

  • Note where water collects and how long it lingers after rain/irrigation.

  • Photograph puddles, slopes, and any water entry points at doors/windows.

  • Clear temporary obstructions from downspouts and surface drains.

  • Reduce irrigation schedules until a plan is in place.

  • Contact us for a site assessment—we’ll map grades, flows, and discharge options.

Common Problems We Solve

  • Standing water on lawns or patios; puddles that linger for days

  • Water entering garages, door thresholds, or crawlspaces

  • Downspouts dumping next to the foundation or eroding planter beds

  • Negative grade toward the house; settled pavers or concrete

  • Clogged or broken yard drains, collapsed corrugated pipe

  • Commercial loading areas and walkways with slip hazards after rain

Our Water Drainage Process (Step-by-Step)

Assessment & Mapping

We measure elevations, slope, flow paths, soil type, and existing drains; identify safe discharge points (daylight, curb, storm tie-in where allowed).

Design & Scope

We specify collection points, pipe type/diameter, trench depth, fall (% slope), aggregate, filter fabric, cleanouts, and any pump sizing.

Diagnosis & Upfront Scope

Layout and trenching with utility locates; protect landscaping/ hardscape and set temporary controls to keep the site tidy.

System Installation

Install catch basins/channel drains, French or infiltration drains with washed stone and fabric, downspout tie-ins, and sump systems (with check/union and dedicated circuit) where required.

Backfill, Surface Restoration & Testing

Backfill and compact; restore sod/pavers/concrete as scoped; water-test and verify flow, check falls, and confirm clear discharge.

Documentation & Care Plan

Provide a simple system map with cleanout locations, maintenance intervals (jetting/leaf control), and warranty details.

What’s Included

  • Site survey & graded flow map (elevations, problem zones, discharge options)

  • Custom drainage design (basins, channel drains, French/infiltration drains)

  • Downspout management (extensions/tie-ins with proper fall)

  • Pump systems where gravity won’t work (sump, check valve, dedicated power)

  • Surface restoration (sod, pavers, concrete/asphalt as scoped)

  • Maintenance access (cleanouts, removable grates) with a care guide

Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)

  • Timeline: Many residential systems complete in 1–3 days; larger/complex or hardscape-heavy projects run longer.

  • Cost drivers: Linear footage and depth, number of basins/drains, hardscape demo/restore, pump requirements, soil/rock conditions, and permitting.

  • Transparent estimates: You’ll receive a line-item scope with materials, footage, and restoration details before work begins.

Insurance & Claims Help

Drainage improvements are typically preventive and not covered by insurance. If prior water intrusion caused interior damage, we can document conditions and coordinate mitigation/restoration as a separate scope. Financing options or phased work are available on request.

Risks of Waiting (Why Immediate Mitigation Matters)

  • Foundation and slab movement from chronic saturation

  • Mold and musty odors in crawlspaces/garages/interiors

  • Erosion and trip hazards on walkways, patios, or turf

  • Premature failure of hardscape (heaved pavers, cracked concrete)

  • Pest activity in standing water and damp soils

Water Drainage Methods, Equipment & Design Standards

  • Pipe & layout: PVC or SDR-35 with solvent-welded joints; minimum 1–2% slope to discharge; smooth-wall pipe for jetting where feasible.

  • French/infiltration drains: Washed stone (#57/#67), filter fabric wrap, and perforated pipe oriented correctly; daylight or approved soakaway.

  • Surface capture: Catch basins, channel drains with debris baskets and removable grates sized for expected flow.

  • Downspout control: Solid conveyance lines to safe outlets; splash control to prevent erosion at termination.

  • Pumps (when needed): Sized by GPM @ head height with check valve, unions, and battery backup options; dedicated, GFCI-protected circuit.

  • Serviceability: Cleanouts at key junctions, camera- and jet-friendly layout, and grates that can be lifted for debris removal.
