Wet basements and foundations are a common issue in Chattanooga, often leading to costly repairs. At Higher Ground, we take a comprehensive approach to identify the source of water intrusion. Frequently, poorly maintained or inadequate gutters are to blame. In many cases, simple solutions like PVC downspout drains or regrading around the foundation can resolve the issue. Unlike others, we prioritize cost-effective, gravity-fed solutions such as French drains. When necessary, we also install indoor catch basins and sump pumps. No matter your budget, we’ll work with you to keep your basement dry. Contact us for a free consultation.
Your yard is a place for family memories, from Sunday cookouts to playing with the kids. However, after heavy rains, the dense clay and chert soil in Chattanooga can leave your yard soggy and unusable. Higher Ground specializes in customized drainage solutions to manage rainwater and improve yard conditions. By using infiltration techniques and devices, we eliminate water from low-lying areas, reducing the risk of stagnant water and mosquitoes. Let us help you transform your yard into a space where grass, not puddles, thrives.
As Chattanooga grows, increased pavement and rooftops contribute to overloading the city’s stormwater system, leading to sewage spills and flooding. Higher Ground offers sustainable solutions to manage stormwater on your property through rain gardens, bio-retention swales, and other infiltration devices. These systems hold water for 24 hours, allowing it to naturally filter into the ground, reducing strain on the city’s infrastructure. For commercial projects, Higher Ground collaborates with engineers and architects to ensure compliance with city stormwater requirements. The city also offers reimbursement programs for these green stormwater solutions. Contact us for a free consultation.
Freshwater is one of our most vital resources, and it requires significant effort to deliver it to our faucets and spigots. The process involves electricity for pumping, chemicals for purification, and the dedicated time of individuals maintaining these systems. To conserve water, reduce pollution, save money, and lessen human labor, consider collecting rainwater for use in your home and garden.
At Higher Ground, we offer a range of rainwater systems, from 50 to 10,000 gallons, suitable for applications such as gardening, bathing, and laundry. Contact us today to schedule a complimentary in-home consultation and estimate.
