Storm Drain and Drainage Excavation in Kansas City MO

Protect Your Property with Proper Storm Drain Excavation

Poor drainage isn’t just a nuisance—it’s a serious threat to your home’s foundation, landscaping, and safety. When water has nowhere to go, it finds the path of least resistance—and that often means inside your home or across your driveway. Drainage issues are rarely solved at the surface. That’s where storm drains and drainage excavation come in.

Sewer Surgeon has been providing professional drainage excavation services since 2015, backed by over 20 years of hands-on plumbing and excavation experience. From clogged storm drains to improperly graded properties, we assess, plan, and execute customized drainage solutions that truly last. With open communication, friendly service, and a strong attention to detail, we make sure the job is done right—and done cleanly.

When Drainage Excavation Becomes Necessary

Surface water issues can cause more than just puddles. Long-term exposure to standing water damages foundations, erodes soil, invites pests, and ruins your landscape. If the grading or existing drainage system isn’t getting the job done, excavation may be the only real fix.

Common signs that excavation is needed:

• Water pooling near your foundation or basement
  
  
• Storm drains are backing up or overflowing
  
  
• Persistent erosion or soggy areas in the yard
  
  
• Driveways or walkways washing out after storms
  
  

We carefully evaluate your yard’s slope, existing drainage, soil type, and runoff patterns. Then, we develop a targeted excavation plan to fix the issue from the ground up.

Serving Kansas City, MO with Storm Drain Expertise

Kansas City’s unpredictable weather and heavy rain seasons make stormwater management essential. Many neighborhoods deal with clay-heavy soil and older storm drain systems that weren’t built for today’s water load. Our team understands how local soil conditions, building layouts, and city codes impact drainage, and we build solutions that are made for this region.

Whether you're located in Midtown, Waldo, Brookside, or anywhere across the KC metro, we tailor every project to the exact needs of your property. That means better drainage, less damage, and long-term protection from flooding and erosion.

Our Process: Drainage Excavation Done Right

Every drainage excavation project starts with a conversation and ends with a permanent improvement to your property. Our process keeps you informed, your property protected, and your expectations exceeded.

Here’s how it works:

1. On-Site Evaluation and Mapping
   We assess runoff patterns, elevation changes, and existing drainage to identify the root cause of your problem.
   
   
2. System Design and Planning
   We develop a custom excavation plan that includes storm drain connections, trench grading, or French drain layout—depending on your needs.
   
   
3. Excavation and Installation
   Using precision equipment, we excavate and install drainage lines, storm boxes, or channel systems—always staying within code and minimizing impact to your yard.
   
   
4. Backfilling and Final Cleanup
   Once the system is in place and tested, we restore the area with compacted backfill and clean the job site thoroughly.
   
   

Our goal is to leave you with effective drainage and a yard that looks like we were never there.
