Price

What drives the cost of drainage solutions in Melvindale

  • Type of fix: regrading, downspout work, French drain, dry well or rain garden
  • Length and depth of trenching and pipe
  • Distance to a legal discharge point
  • Access for equipment through gates and along side yards
  • Clay soil removal and stone or topsoil import
  • Hardscape or landscaping that must be removed and restored
  • The age of the home: the typical Melvindale home was built around 1950, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Melvindale

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Melvindale was built around 1950. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Older plumbing and sewer lines

66% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.

Permits: check with the Melvindale building department before work starts.

Compare quotes

How to compare drainage solutions quotes

  • Ask each contractor to explain where the water comes from and where it will go.
  • Compare the method: regrade, surface drain, French drain or dry well.
  • Get pipe type, stone, fabric and outlet location in writing.
  • Confirm who calls MISS DIG and who handles any city approval.
  • Check licenses on the LARA lookup and ask for proof of insurance.

Drainage Solutions in Melvindale: FAQ

It depends on the fix, the length of any trench, the distance to a legal outlet, access, and how much lawn or hardscape must be restored. Simple downspout work is on the low end of the scope; long French drains and regrading are on the high end.
Work entirely on your lot often does not, but connecting to a storm sewer or discharging to the street usually does. Confirm with BSEED or your local building department before work starts.
If the ground slopes toward the house, regrading is usually the first fix. French drains work best for water that collects in a spot the grade cannot correct.

It depends on the scope. Ask the Melvindale building department, and expect a licensed contractor to pull any permit the job needs.
