DRAINAGE & FOUNDATION / CENTRAL FLORIDA
Custom drainage & erosion control
Rain washes away soil, cuts channels through the yard or affects several areas at once.
What FAS does.
FAS plans and installs custom drainage and erosion-control work for properties with more than one water problem. We look at the areas feeding the runoff, the path it takes and where soil is being lost. The proposal may combine collection points, drainage routes and erosion-control measures. You can review which areas the work addresses, where water would discharge and what restoration is included before approving the quote.
What we check.
- Where soil washes away and where it collects afterward.
- Connected wet areas, slopes and existing drainage.
- The proposed outlet and the areas that need restoration.
What happens next.
- Show us all the affected areas, including photos after rain.
- Review how the proposed work addresses the connected problems.
- Approve the site-checked work, price and restoration details.
Common questions.
Can you look at several drainage problems together?
Yes. Water in one part of the property can affect another. Include all the areas you have noticed.
Will the quote say which areas are included?
The proposal should identify the work, affected areas and restoration included. Discuss any other work before approving it.
Optional: explore how this drainage principle works

EXPLORE HOW IT WORKS
Erosion control: slope and cover
Keep the same rainfall, then change the slope and soil cover. See how exposed soil can move.
- 1Rain on the surface
- 2Soil cover
- 3Soil carried downhill
Rain reaches exposed sandy soil. Loose grains travel with the surface flow.
What to notice.
Slope gives runoff a direction. Exposed soil can detach and travel with it. Plant cover and mulch can protect the surface in different ways. This comparison explains the mechanism; it does not predict soil loss or select an erosion-control treatment.
Educational illustration. Geometry and motion are simplified, and slopes are exaggerated so the change is visible. It does not predict performance at your property or specify equipment, dimensions or repairs.
