Custom Drainage Solutions for Residential, Commercial, and Municipal Properties Across Plymouth County
Water that doesn’t move properly creates problems — and those problems worsen over time. A yard that holds water after every rain, a foundation slowly being undermined, or a slope that washes out during storms are not cosmetic issues. These issues are signs that a property’s drainage system is not functioning correctly, and the longer the problem goes unaddressed, the more costly the repair becomes.
NE Services designs and installs effective drainage systems for residential, commercial, and municipal properties throughout Plymouth County, the South Shore, Bristol County, and Cape Cod. We evaluate site conditions, identify where water is moving and where it’s getting stuck, and implement customized solutions that control runoff, protect structures, and keep your property performing the way it should.
All of our drainage installations comply with local regulations and are designed to protect both the structure and the surrounding landscape for the long term.

Every drainage situation is different. We don’t apply a one-size-fits-all solution — we look at your specific site conditions, the source of the problem, and what the property needs before recommending an approach.
French Drains
A French drain is one of the most effective tools for managing subsurface water. It consists of a perforated pipe set in a gravel-filled trench, designed to intercept groundwater and redirect it away from structures, foundations, or saturated areas. French drains are commonly used to address basement moisture, soggy yard areas, and water that collects near foundations after heavy rain.
When properly designed and installed at the right depth and slope, a French drain quietly does its job year-round without requiring much attention.
Surface Drainage and Catch Basins
Surface drainage addresses water that collects on top of the ground — in low spots, along driveways, or in areas where grading directs runoff toward structures instead of away from them. Catch basins collect that surface water and channel it into an underground pipe system that carries it to a safe discharge point.
Together, surface drainage and catch basins handle the visible water problems that French drains aren’t designed for. On many properties, a complete drainage solution uses both.
Stormwater Management
For larger properties, commercial sites, and municipal projects, stormwater management goes beyond a single drain or basin. It involves designing a system that handles the volume of water generated during a storm event — routing it safely, preventing erosion, and keeping it out of structures and sensitive areas.
We install stormwater piping systems and work from engineered plans to ensure the system meets applicable regulations and performs at the volume the site requires.
Regrading for Water Diversion
Sometimes the most effective drainage solution isn’t a pipe at all — it’s correcting the grade. If a property’s surface directs water toward a foundation, a low spot, or a sensitive area, regrading that portion of the site can solve the problem at the source. We handle drainage regrading as a standalone service and as part of broader site prep and excavation work.
Drainage as Part of a Larger Project
Drainage is most effective when it’s integrated into the site from the beginning. We incorporate drainage planning into our site prep and excavation work — which means if we’re already grading your property, we’re thinking about water management as part of that process, not as an afterthought.
For properties where drainage wasn’t addressed during initial construction, we come in after the fact, assess what’s happening, and install the right solution for the site.

Drainage System Frequently Asked Questions
Why is drainage important for my property?
Improper drainage can cause foundation damage, basement flooding, erosion, and landscape deterioration. A properly designed drainage system protects structural integrity and long-term property value.
What are signs I need a drainage solution?
Indicators include standing water, soil erosion, water pooling near foundations, basement moisture, or lawn areas that remain saturated after rainfall.
What types of drainage systems do you install?
We install French drains, surface drains, catch basins, stormwater piping systems, grading corrections, and other customized water management solutions.
Can drainage issues damage my foundation?
Yes. Water intrusion and poor grading can compromise foundation stability and lead to costly structural repairs. Early correction is critical.
Do drainage systems require maintenance?
Yes. Periodic inspection and clearing of debris from catch basins and drain pipes helps ensure long-term performance.
Do you provide drainage solutions for commercial properties?
Yes. We design and install drainage systems for residential homes, commercial developments, and municipal infrastructure projects.
