"Our backyard was a swamp every winter. New Life Drainage installed a French drain system and regraded the yard — it's been completely dry ever since. Professional crew, great communication, and fair pricing."
Sarah M.

"We had standing water pooling against our foundation after every rain. They designed a catch basin and drainage system that solved the problem completely. Highly recommend their team."
James T.

Seattle Drainage Experts
Why Seattle Yards Have Drainage Problems
Seattle's landscape was shaped by glaciers over 10,000 years ago, leaving behind dense glacial till — a compacted mixture of clay, silt, and gravel that resists water penetration. When rain falls on Seattle yards, it cannot drain through this hardpan layer. Instead, water pools on the surface, saturates the topsoil, and flows downhill toward foundations, patios, and low-lying areas.
The city receives over 37 inches of rain annually, mostly between October and May, creating months of continuous saturation. Seattle Public Utilities has confirmed the city is experiencing more heavy rain events due to climate change, making proper residential drainage more critical than ever.
