Yes, drainage excavation is one of the most direct ways to fix persistent standing water on a property. Depending on where the water collects and how the land slopes, the solution may involve French drains, drain tile, catch basins, regrading, or a combination of these.

Bushwhacker Land Management Inc installs drain tile for property owners across Jefferson County, including Mount Vernon and surrounding communities. Drain tile works well in the heavy clay soils common to this part of Illinois, where water moves slowly through the ground.

We start by walking the property to identify where water enters, where it collects, and where it needs to go. From there we determine the right drainage solution, whether that is trenching for perforated pipe, installing a catch basin, or setting a culvert, and then excavate, install, and backfill to grade.

Late summer through fall is generally the best window for drainage excavation in the Mount Vernon area. The ground is workable, soil conditions are more stable than wet spring months, and having the system in place before winter means it is ready when spring rains arrive.
