Drainage & French Drains in Havertown, PA
A basement that floods when it rains, a lawn that stays soggy for days, water pooling against the foundation: these are drainage problems, and they do not fix themselves. We solve them at the source for homeowners in Havertown, PA, with French drains, yard regrading, and dry creek beds that move storm water off your property for good.
Drainage problems we solve in Havertown
If your basement takes on water every time it rains, water collects against the foundation, your yard stays soggy and unmowable, or mulch and soil wash out of the beds with every storm, the underlying issue is almost always that water has nowhere to go. On sloped Havertown properties it can also mean runoff cutting channels across the yard or spilling toward the house. These are the exact problems our drainage work is built to fix, permanently, rather than moving them a few feet away.
How we fix it
Our crew diagnoses where the water comes from and where it can safely discharge, then solves it with the right tools working together. A French drain, a buried gravel-wrapped perforated pipe, intercepts water in the ground and carries it away from the house. Yard regrading with heavy equipment reshapes the ground into a consistent natural slope, a minimum two percent, that pulls every storm off the foundation. Dry creek beds and rip-rap swales handle surface flow and read as landscaping the rest of the year, and downspouts are redirected to discharge onto the graded surface instead of dumping at the foundation.
Why homeowners in Havertown call Mex Landscaping

Our work is led by a Pennsylvania-licensed landscape architect, so systems are diagnosed, graded, and sized for the water they actually have to carry, then compacted and finished to last. We serve Havertown and the surrounding Main Line and Montgomery County, and every project starts with a free on-site estimate so you get a real solution and a firm price, not a guess.
Drainage & French Drains in Havertown: common questions
Why does my basement flood when it rains in Havertown?
Almost always because the yard has no slope to carry storm water away, so rain pools against the foundation and works its way inside. Sealing the basement from the inside rarely fixes it. The lasting solution is outside: a French drain to capture the water and a regrade that moves it away from the house.
How much does a French drain cost in Havertown?
It depends on the length and depth of the run, where the water can discharge, and site access, so there is no honest flat number. We give you a firm price after a free on-site estimate, once we have diagnosed where the water is coming from and where it needs to go.
Do I need a French drain or regrading?
Often both. A French drain handles subsurface water; regrading handles surface water and pulls it off the foundation. We assess the property and recommend only what the drainage problem actually requires.
