Why Buford Homeowners Call Us
The Buford Drainage Problem Is Not Your Fault.
Buford's position at the northern edge of Gwinnett County places it on deep red clay piedmont near Lake Lanier — where high water tables and clay soil create particularly challenging drainage conditions after sustained rainfall. Buford's growing residential development near Lake Lanier and along the Mall of Georgia corridor has brought significant new drainage challenges, with stormwater systems that were sized for much lower residential densities.
With individual storms averaging 3.2+ inches, Buford's clay soils are asked to absorb water far faster than they physically can. Every inch of rain generates ~0.6 gallons per square foot of roof surface — thousands of gallons per storm concentrated at your downspouts, foundation, and yard.
The most common drainage problems we see in Buford neighborhoods including Lake Lanier area, Hamilton Mill, Buford Dam Road corridor, Shadburn Ferry, and downtown Buford:
- High water table near Lake Lanier affecting property drainage
- Stormwater systems undersized for current residential density
- Clay soil drainage failing in Hamilton Mill area
- Foundation moisture from chronically elevated groundwater
The root cause in almost every Buford case is the same: a gravity-dependent system trying to function in clay soil. That combination guarantees failure. Our pressure-fed systems don't need slope — they move water via pressure, which works in any terrain and any soil type.
The Hydro Fix Solution
