Grading & Drainage in Kitchener
Lot grading and drainage solutions that move water away from your Kitchener home — regrading, swales, and slope correction done right.
Most wet-basement and pooling problems trace back to grade. If the ground slopes toward the house instead of away, water follows. We regrade lots, build swales, and correct slope so surface water drains where it should, across Kitchener and area.
What's included
- Rough and finish lot grading
- Positive slope away from foundations
- Swales and surface drainage channels
- Regrading to fix pooling and wet spots
- Prep for sod, patios, or driveways
Our process
- Assess the water — we look at where water sits and where it needs to go.
- Shape the grade — cut and fill to establish proper fall away from the structure.
- Add drainage — swales or surface channels where the lot needs help.
- Finish — leave a clean grade ready for landscaping.
Frequently asked questions
Will regrading fix my wet basement?
Often it's the biggest factor — getting positive slope away from the foundation solves many water problems before you spend on interior systems.
How much slope does a lot need?
A general rule is a noticeable drop over the first couple of metres away from the house; we'll set the right fall for your lot.
