Drainage Problems Don't Fix Themselves
If you're dealing with standing water, muddy lawn sections, foundation runoff, or washouts after storms, you likely have a grading and subsurface water movement issue—not just a surface water issue. TruScape designs and installs complete drainage systems that move water away from structures, hardscapes, and high-use turf areas.
We install French drains, catch basins, downspout extensions, and outlet routing systems for residential and commercial properties across Westmoreland County, including Greensburg, Irwin, North Huntingdon, Latrobe, and surrounding communities.
Common Water Issues We Solve
Foundation & Basement Risk
Water pooling near the home can increase hydrostatic pressure on foundation walls and lead to seepage, cracks, or moisture intrusion.
Saturated & Unusable Lawn Areas
Chronically wet soil suffocates turf roots, creates mosquito-prone puddles, and leaves muddy tracks across high-traffic zones.
Downspout Discharge Damage
Short or disconnected downspouts dump roof water into beds and along foundations, causing washouts and repeated erosion.
Slope Erosion & Mulch Loss
Surface runoff can strip mulch, expose roots, and carve channels through beds, especially on sloped lots common in Western PA.
Our Drainage Installation Process
1) Site Assessment & Water Mapping
We identify low points, inflow sources, roof discharge impact, and slope direction before recommending a system layout.
2) Drainage Design
We determine the right mix of French drains, catch basins, and outlet routing based on soil conditions and property constraints.
3) Excavation & Pipe Installation
We install geotextile-wrapped systems with proper pitch, aggregate, and protected inlets for reliable long-term flow.
4) Restoration & Final Grading
We restore disturbed areas and fine-tune surface grades to ensure water is directed into the system—not back toward structures.
