Underground drainage in Northwest Arkansas
Getting roof water past the foundation and off a sloped lot
A gutter that works perfectly still delivers a whole roof section’s worth of water to one spot at the corner of your house. Here is where that water should go instead, and how we get it there.
When a downspout empties within the footprint of the house, the water follows the loose backfill soil around the foundation straight down to the footing. That is where cracks, damp crawlspaces and settling patios start. On level ground, a long extension can sometimes solve it. On the steep, wooded lots common across Northwest Arkansas, it usually can’t: the water either runs back toward the house or cuts a channel down the hill, taking mulch and topsoil with it.
Underground drainage connects each downspout to buried pipe and carries the water to a place it can leave safely. With 45-plus inches of rain a year and spring storms that arrive in bursts, every downspout on the house is working hard several times a season.
Where the water can go
| Outlet | How it works | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| Daylight | Pipe runs downhill and opens at the surface, well away from the house | Sloped lots, which describes much of the Ozark foothills |
| Drywell | Water collects underground and soaks into the soil slowly | Flatter lots with no downhill spot to discharge |
| Storm connection | Line ties into an existing storm drainage connection | Properties where one is available and the connection is allowed |
Signs your existing underground drain is clogged
- Gutters overflowing at the downspout even right after a cleaning.
- Water bubbling up or pooling in the yard along the buried line.
- Debris visible packed into the opening where the downspout meets the pipe.
- A soggy strip of lawn that never dries out between storms.
- Water backing up and spilling out at the downspout joint near the ground.
Our Solutionists look for poor drainage on every estimate, buried lines included, so you hear about a problem even if you called about something else. A clogged line that keeps backing up is often a sign the gutters above it need a guard.
The full system we recommend
- Right-sized gutters.Gutters that keep up with the roof, so water reaches the downspouts instead of going over the edge. Our guide to gutter sizes explains when 6 inch beats 5.
- A metal mesh guard.A clog in a gutter is a ladder job. A clog underground means digging or a costly call to clear the line. BroGuard keeps oak and hickory debris out of the pipe in the first place.
- Buried pipe to a safe outlet.Every downspout tied in and carried far enough that the water cannot find its way back to the foundation.
We also reroute downspouts that empty across walkways and driveways, which turn slick in a freeze. Sometimes the cleanest fix is moving a downspout to a different corner so the line can go underground without cutting through concrete. For a deeper look at how this plays out on hillside lots around Fayetteville and Bella Vista, read where the water goes on NWA’s steep wooded lots.

Away from your foundation, which matters on the steep, wooded lots found across Northwest Arkansas. Instead of dumping at the slab and soaking the backfill, each downspout feeds a buried line. That line carries the water out to daylight, into a drywell or to a storm connection, well clear of the house.
Flooded basements or garages, foundation damage, rotted wood near the ground and water ponding beside the house after rain are the common signs. When gutters drop water within the footprint of the home, it follows the backfill into the foundation. Our Solutionists are trained to spot poor drainage during the free estimate.
Pooling in the yard around the buried line is the most common sign, because a clog makes the drain back up and leak. Gutters that still overflow right after a cleaning point the same way. Sometimes you can see the clog at the drain opening. If you are not sure, call (479) 370-5248 for a free estimate.
Yes. A downspout that empties across a walkway or driveway is a slip hazard, and on a Northwest Arkansas winter morning that water turns to ice. We can run it underground and away from where people walk. When a driveway or walkway is in the way, we sometimes re-route the gutters and downspouts to another side of the house first, so nothing gets dug up.
It is our term for the best protection a home can have: new or well-functioning gutters sized properly for the roof, a mesh gutter guard to keep debris out, and underground drainage that carries the water far from the house. Each piece covers a weakness in the others. Under Northwest Arkansas oak and hickory, the guard also keeps leaves out of the buried lines.
Often, yes. Many wet basements trace back to roof water: a broken gutter, overflow, or downspouts that dump right next to the foundation. Fixing the gutter, stopping the overflow and running the water underground and away from the house resolves a lot of them. Water ponding by the house can also undermine stairs and patios, so it pays to fix it early.
