Residential Drainage Design Features
Subsurface drainage systems engineered to redirect groundwater away from your home and foundation, sized for Florida's soil conditions and rainfall intensity
Surface grading design, catch basins, and channel drains to manage stormwater flow across your property and prevent ponding
Pool deck drainage systems, pool area drainage solutions, and swimming pool drainage design — including french drains around pools. Trusted by pool contractors statewide.
Perimeter drainage systems designed to intercept groundwater before it reaches your foundation, reducing hydrostatic pressure and preventing water intrusion
Redesign and restoration of existing drainage systems to meet current Florida Building Code requirements and address performance issues
Engineered water removal with battery backup for low-lying areas where gravity drainage is not feasible due to high water tables

How It Works
From initial assessment to permit-ready plans in Naples.
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 Naples Properties Need Residential Drainage Design
Collier County residential properties face drainage challenges that range from coastal flooding in Naples and Marco Island to agricultural drainage conversion in Immokalee. The extremely high water table (0-6 feet in low-lying areas), proximity to the Everglades, and Big Cypress Basin watershed requirements create conditions where standard drainage solutions from other Florida counties may not comply with local regulations. Hurricane Ian's 2022 devastation also means many properties are rebuilding with elevated structures that require engineered drainage at the new building pad elevation.
Local Factors in Naples
- Hurricane Ian (September 2022) exposed critical storm surge vulnerability via Gordon River and Naples Bay — 3-5 feet water depth at Naples Airport prompted $259K Tiger Dam barrier investment
- High tides raise canal water levels and groundwater, reducing stormwater infiltration and outfall capacity in canal-front neighborhoods
- Big Cypress Basin hydroperiod matching requirements exceed simple volume-based retention standards
- Hurricane Ian rebuild properties must meet updated FEMA flood elevation requirements
- Coastal Naples and Marco Island face storm surge and sea level rise considerations
Collier County Soil & Drainage Profile
Collier County's western coastal areas feature sandy soils over shallow limestone, while eastern areas near the Everglades contain organic muck soils. The Big Cypress Basin watershed creates unique hydrological conditions where sheet flow across vast areas must be maintained by drainage system design.
Collier County's proximity to the Big Cypress National Preserve and the Everglades means that stormwater drainage cannot simply be "moved away" — it must be managed to maintain the natural sheet flow that sustains these ecosystems. SFWMD's Big Cypress Basin criteria require that post-development discharge mimics pre-development hydroperiod, which is a more complex engineering standard than simple volume matching.
