WET BASEMENT SOLUTIONS
Wet basements and foundations are a huge problem in Chattanooga. These water problems can be terribly costly. At Higher Ground, when dealing with wet basements, we look at the whole house to isolate the water problem. Many times we find that inadequate or poorly maintained guttering can be the culprit. Sometimes a simple PVC downspout drain line or some grading around the foundation can solve the problem. Unlike most companies we do not jump straight to recommending the most costly solution. We focus on “gravity fed” solutions such as PVC french drains but in certain situations we do install indoor catch basins and sump pumps. Whatever your situation and budget Higher ground will work with you to dry out your basement. Call today to set up an appointment for a free in home consultation and estimate.

SOGGY YARD SOLUTIONS
Your yard is where the kids play, it is where you have Sunday cookouts and play flag football. It’s where family memories are made. It can also be a soggy mess after a big rainstorm due to the dense clay and chert soil types in Chattanooga. Higher Ground specialized in property drainage and rainwater infiltration techniques for every property size and each individual budget. Using rainwater infiltration devices we can remove water from low spots and problematic areas of your yard. Stop growing mosquitoes in your yard and start growing grass.

GREEN STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Chattanooga is expanding. More pavement and rooftops mean more stormwater for our already overwhelmed stormwater system. When this system overflows sewage is spilled into our waterways and infrastructure is put in danger from flooding. It is each of our responsibilities to keep some rain on our property. We call this “stay on volume.” Using our small equipment and light touch, Higher Ground installs attractive and affordable landscaping that will hold water for 24 hours before it infiltrates into the ground. Rain gardens and bio retention swales are often times a great solution for drainage issues as well. The city of Chattanooga has a reimbursement program for these green storm water devices.
For commercial projects Higher Ground collaborates with like minded engineers, surveyors and landscape architects to provide infiltration devices guaranteed meet  or exceed the required the city storm water stay on volume requirements for your site. Call today to set up an appointment for a free on site consultation and estimate.
RAINWATER REPURPOSING
Fresh water is our most precious resource. It takes more than we often realize to get water to flow from our faucets and spigots. Electricity for pumping, chemicals for purifying and human time spent maintaining these systems all have to be considered when we turn on the tap. Conserve pollution, money, human energy and fresh water by collecting rainwater for use in the home and garden. Higher Ground installs every level of rainwater system from 50-10,000 gallon for everything from watering the garden to bathing and washing cloths.

GUTTER INSTALLATION
Often times the easiest and most inexpensive way to solve your drainage system is the installation of adequately sized seamless guttering. Seamless gutters collect the water from the roof and concentrate it in order to prevent foundation problems, eave rot and landscaping washout. New seamless guttering will add years and beauty to you home. Our gutters come in 24 standard colors and four premium colors (http://www.senox.com/colors/).
