Drainage work has a $500 minimum. It covers French drains, catch basins, downspout extensions, combo drains and regrading. Price depends on the scope of the job.

Why do Portsmouth yards hold water?
Portsmouth sits low and flat, so water has nowhere to go after heavy rain. A small change in grade or a drain in the right spot can move it away from your house and out of your lawn.

When do I need regrading?
Water pools in the yard after rain. The ground slopes toward the house or foundation. There are low spots or uneven areas. You are about to install sod and want the base done right.
