Subsurface collection for chronic pooling
Drainage systems
Move monsoon water away from what matters.
Phoenix properties face intense rain in short bursts. ECS designs French drains, yard drainage, and foundation protection that work with your gutters—not against them—so water leaves the site cleanly.
- Residential & commercial
- Integrated with ECS gutter systems
- Phoenix metro
The challenge
Standing water is a symptom—not the whole problem
Pooling near foundations, soggy planters, and eroded landscaping often trace back to downspout discharge, soil grade, and missing subsurface relief. A patch of gravel is not a system. We diagnose the path water takes on your lot, then build the fix to match desert soils and flash-storm volume.
The ECS approach
Engineered paths for water—above and below grade
From French drains and channel drains to downspout extensions and foundation drainage, every solution is planned with your roof runoff in mind. When gutters are part of the package, Circle Mountain Sheet Metal fabricates the metal; ECS installs the full water story.

Subsurface relief where water collects
French drains
Perforated pipe in a gravel envelope that intercepts groundwater and surface seepage, then carries it to a safe discharge point.
- Courtyards, side yards, and low spots
- Sized for soil type and storm intensity
- Cleanouts for long-term serviceability
- Tied to safe daylight or dry-well strategies
How we work
A clear process from first visit to final walkthrough
01
Site walk & water path
We observe grade, hardscape, roof discharge, and problem areas—then map how water should leave your property.
02
System design
Scope French drain, surface drainage, and/or discharge work with clear options and an honest price range.
03
Install & restore
Crews protect landscaping, install with proper slope and materials, and leave the site clean and serviceable.
04
Verify performance
We review discharge points and maintenance access so you know how to keep the system working for years.
