Arkansas Foundation Drainage Solutions
Water is the single greatest enemy of an Arkansas foundation. Surface grading, gutter management, and properly engineered French drains will outperform any repair if installed correctly — and they're a fraction of the cost. BratchCo designs drainage systems that solve the cause of foundation movement.

- 4–6 inch perforated French drain to daylight or sump

How a drainage solutions project actually works.
Site Hydrology
Map water sources, slope, and discharge points.
Design
Engineered drain sizing, slope, and outlet design.
Install
Trench, sock, gravel, pipe, and proper outlet detail.
Verify
Water test and final grading.
Engineered options, matched to your home.
Exterior French Drain
Perimeter drain to capture and divert subsurface water.
Surface Grading
6-inch fall over the first 10 feet from the foundation.
Buried Downspout Extensions
Solid PVC drain lines to a daylight or pop-up emitter.
How to know it's time.
- Standing water within 6 feet of the foundation
- Saturated crawl space soil
- Erosion against the foundation wall
- Mulch beds that sit lower than the surrounding lawn
Why this matters here.
Arkansas averages 50+ inches of rain per year — well above the national average. Without engineered drainage, that water concentrates against the foundation and accelerates soil movement.
