Mecklenburg County · North Carolina
Permanent, pressure-fed drainage systems for Mecklenburg County homeowners and commercial properties dealing with standing water, foundation moisture, and failed drainage systems. We fix it once — for good.
"If your yard is still wet days after rain in Charlotte, the problem isn't unusual — it's Mecklenburg-Cecil Clay and undersized drainage. We fix both."
Why Mecklenburg County Homeowners Call Us
North Carolina's Piedmont and coastal regions present some of the Southeast's most challenging drainage conditions, with clay soils that match Georgia's Cherokee County red clay in drainage resistance. Charlotte's namesake soil — Mecklenburg clay — has a percolation rate below 0.5 inches per hour and swells significantly when wet, making it one of the most problematic drainage soils in the Southeast.
Urban Charlotte's density and impervious surface coverage means stormwater has nowhere to go. Even moderate storms cause significant flooding in established neighborhoods — Dilworth, Myers Park, and Ballantyne all experience chronic drainage issues.
The most common drainage problems we see in Mecklenburg County communities including Myers Park, Dilworth, Ballantyne, SouthPark, Huntersville:
The root cause in almost every Mecklenburg County case is the same: a gravity-dependent system trying to function in Mecklenburg-Cecil Clay with no slope. 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
Unlike French drains and perforated pipe that rely on gravel voids and slope, Hydro Fix moves water plank-to-plank via hydrostatic pressure. No slope required. Nothing to clog. Nothing to maintain.
