How It Works
From initial assessment to permit-ready plans in Coconut Creek.
We visit your property to evaluate existing conditions, identify the source of water problems, assess soil types and permeability, and document elevations and flow patterns. This on-site assessment is the foundation of every successful drainage design.
Our survey team collects accurate elevation data, property boundary information, and locations of existing utilities and structures. This data feeds directly into the engineering design to ensure precise grading and pipe sizing.
Our Licensed Professional Engineers develop a complete drainage design including pipe sizing calculations, grading plans, detention/retention requirements, and construction details. Every design accounts for Florida's 25-year/24-hour storm event and local code requirements.
We prepare and submit all required permit applications to your local building department, SFWMD, or other agencies. Our team manages reviewer communication and addresses any comments to keep your project moving toward approval.
Local Requirements for Residential Drainage Design
Why Coconut Creek Properties Need Residential Drainage Design
Broward County's unique combination of shallow limestone bedrock (within 12-20 inches of the surface in eastern areas), extremely high water tables (1-6 feet), and the county regulation that no property may discharge stormwater onto adjacent land creates conditions where nearly every residential lot needs engineered drainage. Properties in Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, and Pembroke Pines cannot simply grade water toward the street — they must retain and infiltrate stormwater on-site through engineered exfiltration systems designed for the county's challenging soil conditions.
Local Factors in Coconut Creek
- Shallow limestone bedrock limits French drain depth and may require drill-and-blast for pipe installation
- County regulation prohibits discharging stormwater onto adjacent properties
- 25-year/3-day storm retention requirement — more conservative than most Florida jurisdictions
- Multiple drainage districts (South Broward, Central Broward) with different technical criteria
Broward County Soil & Drainage Profile
Broward County's soils are predominantly poorly drained fine sands in the eastern half, with organic muck soils in the western conservation areas. The Hallandale series — a sandy soil with limestone bedrock within 20 inches of the surface — dominates much of developed Broward and severely restricts subsurface drainage options.
Broward County's unique regulatory framework involves multiple independent drainage districts — including the South Broward Drainage District, Central Broward Water Control District, and North Broward drainage infrastructure — each with different stormwater criteria. A project in Pembroke Pines may have different retention requirements than an identical project in Coral Springs, even though both are in Broward County.
