Why Athens projects are different.
Athens is the Henderson County seat. Athens soils range from red sandy loam to black clay depending on which side of town you're on — we spec base thickness for the lot, not the ZIP code.
We roll trucks from Mabank into Athens multiple times a week — east texas is our backyard. One local crew, one point of contact, and the same equipment we use on every job from a homeowner french drain to a full barndominium build.
Full drainage scope.

Drainage materials we install on every Athens, TX job.
Drainage in Athens, TX comes down to one thing: getting water off your lot and into a real outfall. Every french drain and catch basin we install in Henderson County uses commercial-grade components — the same materials civil contractors spec, not what's on the pallet at a big-box store.
- SDR-35 solid PVC drain pipe
Solid-wall PVC for every Athens french drain main and driveway crossing — crush-resistant and glued at every joint.
- Corrugated slotted HDPE
Reserved for shallow Athens yard drains where cost matters — never under a driveway.
- NDS catch basins & channel drain
Atrium and grate basins sized for real Athens storm flow, tied into solid PVC mains.

Mirafi 140N (not big-box weed cloth) wraps every drain trench in Athens to stop silt from clogging the rock.

Sized for lake-edge and creekbank stabilization on Athens-area waterfront and floodplain lots.

Drainage questions from Athens homeowners.
How much does a french drain cost in Athens, TX?+
Residential french drains in Athens run $30–$65 per linear foot installed with SDR-35 PVC, washed rock and non-woven fabric. Total depends on length, depth and outfall.
Why is my Athens yard flooding?+
Almost always one of three things: negative slope toward the house, clay soil that won't perc, or downspouts dumping at the foundation. We diagnose on-site in Athens and quote the actual fix.
Do you install foundation drains in Athens?+
Yes — perimeter foundation drains, interior sumps and slab-edge drains. Common on older Athens homes and any lake-adjacent lot with high water table.
SDR-35 vs corrugated pipe — which does Athens really need?+
SDR-35 solid PVC for anything under a driveway or long runs — it doesn't crush or clog. Slotted HDPE only for shallow yard drains where cost matters more.
