Shelby County · Tennessee
Permanent, pressure-fed drainage systems for Shelby 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 Memphis, the problem isn't unusual — it's Grenada-Loring Silt Loam and undersized drainage. We fix both."
Why Shelby County Homeowners Call Us
Middle and West Tennessee's silt loam soils with fragipan horizons create drainage conditions as challenging as Georgia's red clay — water-blocking subsoil layers that defeat gravity-based drainage systems. Shelby County's Grenada and Loring silt loam soils over Mississippi River alluvium have an extremely complex drainage profile. The fragipan horizon, combined with Memphis's proximity to the Mississippi River, creates groundwater conditions that defeat all gravity-based drainage.
Memphis's high-value residential neighborhoods — East Memphis, Germantown, and Collierville — sit on silt loam soils that create persistent drainage challenges despite the city's extensive stormwater infrastructure.
The most common drainage problems we see in Shelby County communities including East Memphis, Germantown, Midtown, Cordova, Bartlett:
The root cause in almost every Shelby County case is the same: a gravity-dependent system trying to function in Grenada-Loring Silt Loam 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.
