Water is collecting around your home
If water collects around the house or leaves the yard soft and muddy, the property may need better drainage.

Dealing with standing water, sewer backups, low water pressure, or a project that needs digging? Tell us what you've noticed. We'll look at the property and explain what makes sense next.

Start with what you can see
What kind of problem are you dealing with?
Choose the situation that sounds closest to yours. We can narrow down the cause after seeing the property.
Sewer or water line trouble
If backups keep returning, water pressure drops, or the ground stays wet without a clear reason, an outside sewer or water line may be damaged.
Your project requires digging
If you're planning foundation work, a utility line, or grading, we'll look at where the digging needs to happen and how equipment can reach it.
Diagnosis before digging
First, we find the source of the problem
A wet spot, backup, or pressure problem can have more than one cause. We check the property first so we can explain what's happening before any digging starts.
- 1
Tell us what you've noticed
Show us where the water appears, when it happens, and which drains, fixtures, or outdoor areas are affected.
- 2
We check the property
We look at the slope, downspouts, low spots, access, and where the sewer or water line may run.

We explain what comes next
Once we understand the cause, we'll explain what needs attention and whether any digging is necessary.
Working across the Southtowns
Your property shapes the work
The slope of your yard, wet low spots, and the room available for equipment can all affect the job. We look at those conditions before planning drainage or excavation work.
Permits and public connections
Some work near a public sewer, road, or right-of-way may require a permit or approval. The requirements depend on the property and the job.

Southtowns service questions
We serve Hamburg, Orchard Park, East Aurora, and Aurora as part of our Southtowns service area.
We handle stormwater drainage, French drains, sewer and water line repairs, general excavation, and foundation excavation.
You don't need to diagnose the problem before calling. Tell us what changed, where you noticed it, and when it happens. That helps us know what to check first.
Call us if the problem is happening now, especially if several fixtures are backing up, water is entering the basement, or the water pressure suddenly drops. Use the quote form for planned drainage or excavation work.
The slope of your yard affects where water moves. Paved areas, fences, the distance to a sewer or water connection, and the room available for equipment can also change how we plan the work.
If your property is covered by Erie County Sewer District rules, work on the private sewer line requires a permit before it begins. The office that handles the permit depends on the property address.
