Dunnebacke ConstructorsDrainage & Erosion Control · Hendersonville, TN
Yard flooding, standing water, and erosion are symptoms — not the problem. Dunnebacke Constructors finds the source and fixes it for good. Drainage is our core specialty, and we've solved problems across Hendersonville and Sumner County that other contractors couldn't crack.
Water that doesn't drain correctly destroys yards, undermines foundations, and erodes driveways. In Middle Tennessee, our clay-heavy soil and hilly terrain make drainage problems especially common — and especially damaging if left alone. At Dunnebacke Constructors, we've made drainage our specialty because it's the most overlooked and underserved problem in residential and light commercial construction in this area.
We don't sell one-size-fits-all solutions. Every drainage problem has a cause, and we start by understanding yours before we recommend anything. Sometimes it's a simple grading correction. Sometimes it's a French drain. Sometimes it's a culvert or a full swale system. We'll tell you what you actually need — not just what's easiest for us to install.
Perforated pipe in gravel-filled trenches to intercept and redirect subsurface water before it saturates your yard or basement.
We reshape the ground to create proper drainage pathways — swales that move water across your property without erosion.
Where water moves fast, we armor the channel with rock riprap and geotextile fabric to stop erosion dead in its tracks.
Driveway culverts, roadside culverts, and drainage pipe installation to move water under roads and structures safely.
We bury downspout extensions in corrugated or solid pipe to carry roof water away from your foundation and deposit it safely.
Geotextile fabric, straw erosion blankets, and slope grading to stop soil movement and protect your landscape long-term.
Sometimes the fix is simple: correct the grade so water flows away from structures instead of pooling against them.
Water intrusion at the foundation level is serious. We address the exterior drainage that keeps water away from your foundation walls.
Standing water and erosion are symptoms. We walk your property, look at grades, observe where water enters and exits, and identify the real cause before recommending anything. This takes time — and it's why our solutions actually work.
We match the solution to your specific problem. A French drain where swale regrading would do the job costs you more money and doesn't fix it any better. We keep it as simple as the situation allows.
Drainage installed with wrong pipe pitch, inadequate gravel, or missing fabric will fail. We use the right materials installed the right way — sloped correctly, bedded right, and placed to last.
After drainage work, bare soil erodes fast. We restore disturbed areas with seed, straw, or erosion fabric so your yard isn't just fixed — it looks right again.
Every service Dunnebacke Constructors offers has drainage thinking behind it — from how we grade a driveway to how we set a retaining wall. It's not just a service we offer; it's how we approach every project. When you hire us for drainage, you're getting a crew that's done hundreds of these jobs and knows what works in Middle Tennessee soil and terrain.
If your water problem is surface runoff that isn't draining off your property, regrading is often the right starting point. If water is seeping up from below or saturating soil that stays wet long after rain, a French drain may be needed. We assess both during the estimate and recommend what fits your situation.
This is one of the most common calls we get. The fix depends on why it floods — whether it's overland flow from neighboring properties, a low spot with nowhere to drain, or a capacity issue with existing drainage. We start by walking the yard in wet conditions (or reviewing photos) to understand the flow pattern. Then we design a solution that handles the volume.
Yes. Buried downspout extensions are one of the most cost-effective drainage improvements you can make. We trench from your downspout outlets, install pipe, and daylight it away from the house — typically in a lower area of the yard or to the street.
Yes. We serve Hendersonville, Gallatin, Goodlettsville, Millersville, White House, Portland, Springfield, Mount Juliet, Lebanon, and surrounding areas in Sumner, Davidson, Wilson, and Robertson Counties.
