Yard Drainage Solutions questions, answered

How do you fix a yard that holds water after rain?

Match the fix to where the water sits. Catch basins with solid PVC discharge lines clear ponding lawns and beds. Channel drains handle driveways and patios that shed toward the house. Regrading and swales recover slope the lot lost, and downspout tie-ins get roof water off the property instead of recycling it into the beds. On flat lots near Lake Houston with no gravity outlet, a sump and pump system does the job.

Do catch basins work in Houston clay soil?

Yes. In expansive clay that barely absorbs water, capturing it at the surface is usually the right call. The basin collects the standing water and a buried solid line carries it to the curb or a pop-up emitter. Catch-basin systems typically run $1,500 to $6,000 installed, and most are done in a day or two.

Yard Drainage Solutions details, costs, and local notes Helpful for research, kept lower so the page stays call-first.

Standing water that takes days to disappear is common in northeast Harris County. The soil is expansive clay that barely absorbs water, the terrain drops only a few feet per mile toward the San Jacinto, and builder grading settles within a few years of construction. Once a low spot forms, every storm refills it. The fix has to move water, not wait for the soil to absorb it.

Why it is worth fixing now

Standing water in this county means mosquitoes most of the year, dead turf, and the expensive part: moisture cycling under a slab-on-grade foundation, exactly what expansive clay punishes. Catch-basin systems typically run $1,500–$6,000 installed; regrading is bid by scope. Most jobs are done in a day or two.
