Exterior Drainage System in Nashville and Murfreesboro
Excess water problems often begin outside the home, long before moisture shows up in the basement. When rainwater and groundwater collect around the foundation, pressure builds and forces moisture toward walls, floors, and joints.
At Crawlspace Titans, we install durable exterior drainage systems that control how water moves around your home and redirect it away from the foundation before damage starts. Integrated with complete basement waterproofing, these systems help protect properties against water and structural damage.

How Exterior Drainage and Waterproofing Work Together
Basement waterproofing works best when water is managed before it reaches the foundation. Our exterior drainage systems reduce hydrostatic pressure. Without proper drainage, this pressure can drive water through cracks, seams, and porous concrete.
By collecting and redirecting groundwater away from the home, exterior drainage systems safeguard your foundation and helps your interior waterproofing deliver peak performance.
Common Drainage Problems Around Homes
Many drainage problems start outside the home and may not be noticed right away. Over time, these issues can lead to basement moisture and water damage. Common drainage problems include:
Poor grading around the foundation
When the ground slopes toward the house, rainwater collects near the basement walls
Compacted or heavy soil
Dense soil does not absorb water well, leading to moisture buildup around foundation
Aging or damaged drainage systems
Older systems can clog, break, or stop working properly.
Improper downspout discharge
Downspouts that release water too close to the home soak the surrounding soil.
Standing water near the foundation
Pooled water puts pressure on basement walls and floors over time.

Types of Exterior Drainage Systems for Homes
Exterior drainage systems work for your home in different ways. Choosing the right system depends on soil type, water flow, and the property layout. Common systems include.
French Drains
Perforated pipes in gravel around the foundation collect groundwater and redirect it.
Footing Drains
Placed at the base of the foundation to capture water at its lowest point.
Downspout Extensions
Move roof runoff away from the foundation to reduce soil saturation.
Surface Drainage Systems
Shallow drains or catch basins move water from low areas and prevent pooling.
