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 St. Cloud.
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 St. Cloud Properties Need Residential Drainage Design
Osceola County's position as the 5th fastest-growing large county means thousands of new homes are being built on poorly drained flatwoods soils that were agricultural land just a few years ago. Properties in Kissimmee, St. Cloud, and Poinciana frequently face lot drainage issues when the community-wide stormwater system is at capacity during peak wet season — requiring individual property solutions to supplement the neighborhood system.
Local Factors in St. Cloud
- Fastest-growing county creates constant agricultural-to-residential drainage conversion
- Flat terrain with high water table limits gravity drainage options
- Master-planned communities (Celebration, Harmony) have coordinated drainage requirements
- Kissimmee River corridor flooding affects properties along the floodplain
Osceola County Soil & Drainage Profile
Osceola County's soils are predominantly poorly drained flatwoods Spodosols with seasonal high water tables. The flat terrain and spodic hardpan layer create extensive areas of natural ponding that require engineered drainage for any development.
Osceola County's position as the 5th fastest-growing large county in the US means thousands of acres of agricultural and natural land are being converted to residential development annually. Every acre of impervious surface (roofs, driveways, roads) generates stormwater that previously infiltrated into the soil, requiring increasingly large retention and detention systems to match pre-development discharge rates.
Local Cost Factors for Residential Drainage Design in St. Cloud
Your Project Starts with a Survey
Every residential drainage design in St. Cloud begins with accurate topographic data. We recommend Apex Surveying & Mapping — Florida's #1 surveying firm — for licensed topographic surveys across Osceola County. Their survey data feeds directly into precision drainage engineering plans. Need an elevation certificate? Apex handles that too.
