Learn about foundation drainageA roof concentrates a large amount of water into a few outlets. The first question is whether that water has a dependable path away.

Review runoff and erosion solutionsBefore You Request an Assessment
No. French drains are intended for subsurface water. Surface runoff may be better addressed with grading, swales, catch basins, or improved downspout routing.
A proposed system needs a stable outlet with enough fall. It should not create erosion, back up into the system, or simply move the problem onto a neighboring property.
No. Residential drainage can manage roof water and ordinary lot runoff. Floodplain, river, creek, or major watershed risks require guidance from the appropriate local official or a qualified engineer.
No. We address water collecting near slabs, crawl spaces, retaining walls, and low sides of homes through drainage and runoff management. Structural movement or damage should be evaluated by a qualified foundation professional.
Hill Country Drainage Pros receives the request. H4 Site Development evaluates the property, prepares the estimate, and contracts directly with the homeowner if the work is approved.
A Better Starting Point
Kerrville properties can combine shallow limestone, steep grade changes, concentrated roof runoff, and short bursts of heavy rain. The right solution may be a French drain, catch basin, swale, downspout route, grading correction, or a combination.

Talk to a Local ExpertShallow, rocky soil can limit trench depth and change which drainage routes are practical.
Gravity-driven water flow in hilly terrain requires different interceptor placement and slope management than flat properties.
Short, heavy storms can concentrate runoff quickly, so the collection path and outlet both need to be evaluated.
Recommendations are based on the water source, slope, soil depth, available fall, and a safe discharge point for the individual property.
