We correct drainage on lake- and cove-front lots and tighter HOA subdivisions in Cornelius, where runoff either gains speed downhill or has nowhere to go. A free on-site estimate comes with no trip fee.
We keep no Cornelius storefront because estimates and work happen at your property. We're in Cornelius and the other Lake Norman towns we cover every week, we know how I-77 Exit 28 connects NC 73, Catawba Avenue and Jetton Road, and we schedule routes so we reach your address and arrive when we said we would.
Jetton Park is at 19000 Jetton Road, Cornelius, NC 28031.
Jetton Park is a lakefront park of about 105 acres on Lake Norman in the Ramsey Creek cove and is operated by Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation.
The park has walking trails, a bike path, lighted tennis courts, a formal garden and Waterfront Hall.
Lake- and cove-front Cornelius lots fall toward the water, letting runoff gain speed downhill. Flatter subdivisions on graded clay pads can hold water instead, and tight lot lines between homes leave little space for a safe route.
Lots that fall toward Lake Norman or a cove let runoff pick up speed as it moves downhill, which can erode beds and undermine patios if the water isn't given a controlled path. Flatter Cornelius subdivisions built on graded clay pads face the opposite problem, holding water because there's little natural fall to carry it away.
Tight lot lines between homes in many Cornelius neighborhoods leave little room for a wide swale, so a drainage route often has to be narrower and more precisely graded or piped than on a more spread-out lot, especially where it has to pass close to a neighboring foundation.

Mecklenburg County Storm Water Services works with the Town of Cornelius on public drainage. Problems can be reported through 311 or 704-336-7600. Work close to Lake Norman can fall under Duke Energy shoreline rules. Drainage on private property is the property owner’s responsibility.
Use I-77 Exit 28 at NC 73 and Catawba Avenue, then continue to Jetton Road. Use the embedded map for the park entrance.
We plan the route and outlet location on your property and note where work may be close enough to the shoreline to involve separate shoreline rules, which we flag rather than assume.
We measure the available side-yard width first and plan a narrower trench or pipe route that still reaches a usable outlet.
We can discuss visible elements like grading lines or drain covers in relation to posted community standards, though approval itself is between the owner and the HOA.
Call 704-460-2019 or send the contact form. There is no trip fee.
