Drainage Contractor in Mesquite, TX
Standing water, soggy spots that never dry, water pooling around your foundation — poor drainage damages foundations, drowns landscaping, and turns every heavy Texas rain into a threat. As an experienced drainage contractor serving Mesquite and the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, Roofing & Construction by Peterson designs and installs drainage systems that move water where it belongs: away from your home. Serving Mesquite’s neighborhoods around Town East and the older east side, where clay soil and aging grading cause standing water after storms.
We take a whole-property approach. Because we also build roofs and install gutters, we manage the full path of water — from your roofline, through gutters and downspouts, across your yard, and safely away from your foundation.
Our Drainage Services in Mesquite
French Drain Installation
Our drainage contractor team installs custom French drain systems — perforated pipe buried in gravel — that capture groundwater and redirect it away from your foundation, fixing soggy yards and water seeping toward your home.
Surface Drainage Solutions
Catch basins, channel drains, and area drains collect standing water from low spots, patios, and driveways and carry it safely off your property — built to handle North Texas downpours.
Gutter Downspout Extensions & Underground Drainage
Roof runoff is the biggest source of water around most foundations. We extend downspouts and connect them to underground drainage lines so thousands of gallons of roof water are carried far from your home.
Yard Grading & Water Management
When your yard slopes toward the house, no drain alone will fix it. We regrade your property to create proper slopes and swales that direct water flow naturally away from your home and landscape.
Sump Pump Installation
For homes with basements, crawl spaces, or chronic low-area flooding, we install dependable sump pump systems that automatically remove water during heavy rains.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a French drain cost in Mesquite, TX?
It depends on the length, depth, and soil conditions — most residential French drain projects in the Mesquite area are quoted per linear foot after a free on-site assessment. Call (214) 519-9478.
What causes standing water in my yard?
North Texas clay soil drains slowly, and poor grading or downspouts dumping next to the foundation make it worse. A drainage contractor can diagnose the exact cause with a site evaluation.
Will a French drain keep water out of my crawl space?
Yes — French drains capture groundwater and redirect it away from your foundation, relieving the hydrostatic pressure that pushes water into crawl spaces.
How long does drainage installation take?
Most residential drainage projects take one to three days depending on scope. Larger grading or multi-system projects can take up to a week.
Do I need a permit for drainage work in Mesquite?
Most residential drainage work does not require a permit, but requirements vary — we verify local rules before starting any project.
