We correct standing water, flattened swales and downspouts that discharge beside foundations on Huntersville properties around Birkdale Village. Every job starts with a free on-site estimate, with no trip fee.
We do not operate a storefront or office because our crew comes to your property. We work across Huntersville and the other towns we serve every week, know I-77, Sam Furr Road and Birkdale Commons Parkway, and plan our schedule so we can get to properties quickly and show up when we say we will.
Birkdale Village opened in 2003 on a 52-acre former equine farm. It is a mixed-use village with apartments over Main Street-style shops, offices and a movie theater arranged around a central green.
Its New England-inspired plan is pedestrian-oriented. The property was originally developed by Crosland and Pappas Properties.
That change from open farmland to a fully graded mixed-use area is relevant to nearby drainage work. Grading reshapes natural water paths, and construction equipment can compact Piedmont clay below the finished surface.
On builder-graded Huntersville lots, the visible lawn may sit over compacted clay that absorbs water slowly. Finished grades can settle over time. A swale that once carried runoff between homes can become shallow or flat, while a downspout that once discharged onto a slope can begin emptying into a low spot.
We start by watching the direction water wants to travel, checking the fall away from the house and identifying a lawful outlet. The repair has to match the source. Roof runoff may need a solid underground line. Broad surface flow may call for a restored swale. A low collection point may need a yard drain, while water moving through the soil can call for a French drain.
Used where subsurface water moves through compacted soil and needs an intercepted path to a suitable outlet.
Carries concentrated roof water away from foundations instead of releasing it beside the house.
Collects sheet flow where runoff crosses a hard surface such as a patio, walk or drive.
Places an inlet at a defined low point when surface water needs to enter a solid drain line.
Combines grade checks, collection and discharge planning for puddles that return after rain.
Restores a broad, shallow surface route where a settled side-yard swale no longer carries runoff.
Provides a drainage path behind a landscape wall so water is not trapped against it.
The Town of Huntersville Public Works maintains public pipes, catch basins and culverts within Town-maintained street rights-of-way and recorded public drainage easements. Public Works can be reached at 704-875-7007.
Named creeks and lakes are handled by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services at 311 or 704-336-7600. State-road drainage goes to NCDOT. Drainage on private property is the property owner's responsibility.
I-77 Exit 25 (NC-73 W / Sam Furr Rd). Coming from the south on I-77, turn left onto Sam Furr Rd; coming from the north, turn right onto Sam Furr Rd. Either way you head west, then turn right onto Birkdale Commons Pkwy.
We inspect the grade, identify where the water enters the property and confirm where it can discharge. Surface runoff may be corrected by restoring a swale, while concentrated or subsurface water may need a collection point and pipe.
We check the roof-water volume, the pipe route, the available fall and the outlet. The line is planned as a complete path away from the foundation rather than ending at another low spot.
We identify which part is on private property and which part falls within a public right-of-way or recorded public drainage easement. Public infrastructure concerns go to the responsible agency; our work stays on the homeowner's property.
