Why Is Standing Water a Problem in Madison, AL

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my yard have standing water?
Standing water occurs when the ground is unable to absorb excess moisture properly due to compacted soil, improper grading, or inadequate drainage systems. This can lead to water pooling in low areas of your yard after heavy rains.
What problems can standing water cause?
Beyond being an eyesore, standing water attracts mosquitoes, creates a breeding ground for mold and mildew, drowns plant roots, and weakens your lawn’s health. If left untreated, it can also cause foundation damage by eroding soil near your home.
How do you fix standing water issues?
We evaluate your yard and implement solutions like French drains, regrading, soil aeration, and drainage system installations. These techniques redirect excess water away from problem areas, ensuring your lawn stays dry and healthy.
How long does it take to fix standing water problems?
Most standing water issues can be resolved within a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the severity and the required drainage solutions.
Will I need ongoing maintenance after fixing the issue?
Our drainage solutions are designed for long-term effectiveness, but occasional maintenance - like clearing debris from drains or aerating the soil - can help prevent future problems.
