Drainage Plans for Los Angeles Properties

When you're rebuilding on a slope, water goes where you tell it to go. We design the drainage.

Why drainage matters after a fire

After the Eaton Fire burned through Altadena, the hillsides changed. Without vegetation holding the soil together, rainwater that used to soak into the ground now runs off faster. That runoff has to go somewhere.

We see it every day working with homeowners in Altadena and Pacific Palisades. The city wants to see a drainage plan for any project that changes how water moves across the property.

A good drainage plan channels water away from your foundation, controls runoff, and keeps everyone happy. It shows the city you've thought about what happens when it rains.

We design systems that work with your property. Swales, drains, and proper slopes all tie together. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best one.

What goes into a drainage plan

  • Analysis of existing site drainage patterns
  • Proposed drainage improvements and structures
  • Calculations for water flow rates
  • Connection points to city storm drain systems
  • LID compliance for stormwater management
  • Cut and fill calculations
  • Post-construction maintenance notes
