What services does H2O Drainage Systems offer?

H2O Drainage Systems provides professional basement waterproofing, interior and exterior drainage systems, crawlspace drainage, gutter extensions, and sump pump installation to keep your home dry.

Why is my basement wet or prone to flooding?

Basements can get wet due to hydrostatic pressure from saturated soil, heavy rains, or high water tables, which forces moisture through walls and floors if proper drainage isn’t in place.

What is the difference between interior and exterior drainage systems?

Interior drainage systems collect groundwater inside the basement and move it to a sump pump, while exterior systems redirect water away from the foundation before it enters the home.

How do gutter extensions help protect my home?

Gutter extensions redirect rainwater away from your foundation, preventing pooling water that can cause basement leaks, soil erosion, and foundation damage.

Do I need a sump pump installed?

A sump pump is recommended if you experience frequent water accumulation or flooding, as it actively pumps water away from your basement to prevent moisture damage.

Engineered to Protect, Built to Exceptional Performance

We use state-of-the-art drainage products and materials to ensure systems that stand the test of time. This includes high-performance channels, piping, and components engineered to resist corrosion, UV damage, and wear — all chosen to provide reliable long-term water control.

Our team draws on deep industry experience and hands-on expertise, ensuring installations are done right the first time. From initial assessment to final installation, our workmanship reflects quality and attention to detail.

What Makes Our Materials Superior

Choosing quality materials isn’t just a choice — it’s essential. Poor-grade products can fail prematurely, leading to costly repairs and re-work. That’s why we partner with trusted manufacturers and use only materials proven to deliver exceptional performance in real-world conditions.

Polydrain

Flexible water diverter

PolyDrain® is a drainage channel made in modular, pre-sloped sections from polymer concrete. Combine the interlocking sections to create runs of almost any configuration and length. In addition to its versatility, with precision pre-casting, you get a high-quality product that requires less onsite labor. The PolyDrain trench system is well suited fit a variety of surface applications. These trench drains offer more reliability, easier maintenance, cheaper installation. They lower cost since they simply snap into each other to create a perfect pitch at any run length. Polymer concrete is not degraded by salt, oil, most acids and alkalis, and offers UV resistance. These drains are perfect for sidewalks, auto shops, basement flooding control, and food processing applications.

Baughman High Octane Tile

8-Slot single wall corrugated pipe

Baughman High Octane Tile isn’t a flooring piece, but more of a pipe to help move water and waste away from the home. The most common ways to help prevent basement flooding is to ensure that your downspouts don’t drain next to the house. Instead, they should route runoff several feet away, specifically pushing to a downward slope away from the home for heavy rains. Standing water around the house will eventually erode the foundation supports causing sinkage. The more water one can push away from the foundation is best. Some other good applications for water control and movement away from the foundation is the use of window well draining, driveway culverts, preventing standing water in low spots, and foundation drains.

Hydrochannel

The original

Hydro-Channel creates a thermal break between the footing and the basement floor. It’s extra-wide to allow footing/slab separation which will help reduce cracks in the basement flooring. It protects the cold joint, the area where the floor meets the wall, from water seepage. Hydro-Channel products are easy to install. They will not create structural problems for the floor or foundation. They don’t interfere with crews when pouring concrete. Hydro-Channel provides a reinforced sturdy channel that will not collapse during the pouring of concrete.
