New Orleans yards flood due to below-sea-level elevation, over 60 inches of annual rainfall, a high water table, clay-heavy soil, and ongoing ground subsidence. Professional drainage solutions, including French drains, catch basins, grading corrections, and sump pump systems, permanently solve these problems.
Yard flooding is practically a rite of passage for New Orleans homeowners. But just because it is common does not mean you have to live with it. TurnKey Drainage has helped homeowners from Hammond to the heart of New Orleans reclaim their yards from standing water.
Large portions of New Orleans sit below sea level, meaning water has no natural downhill path.
The city averages over 60 inches of rain per year with intense storms. The water table sits just 1-3 feet below the surface, so the ground saturates almost immediately.
Clay-heavy alluvial soil has extremely low permeability. Ongoing subsidence creates low spots.
And inadequate property grading can direct water toward your home instead of away from it.
Standing water causes foundation damage as it seeps into cracks and erodes supporting soil. It creates mosquito breeding grounds in New Orleans warm climate. It suffocates the grass roots and promotes fungal diseases.
It increases the risk of mold in crawl spaces. And it reduces your property value, since drainage problems are a red flag for buyers.
Effective landscape drainage requires solutions designed for local conditions. French drains intercept water underground.
Catch basins and channel drains collect surface water. Grading and swales create a proper slope.
Sump pump systems manage water in below-sea-level neighborhoods. Downspout extensions redirect roof runoff.
Many solutions pair well with landscape installation and landscape maintenance to keep your property both functional and beautiful.
If your drains are also running slowly inside, our drain cleaning and drain repair services address interior plumbing issues. Keeping both systems in good condition provides comprehensive protection.
Effective drainage is about designing a system for your specific property conditions. A poorly designed solution can redirect water to new problem areas. Learn more about TurnKey Drainage and our approach to custom drainage design.
New Orleans yards flood due to below-sea-level elevation, heavy rainfall exceeding 60 inches annually, a high water table just feet below the surface, clay-heavy soil with low permeability, and ongoing subsidence that creates low spots.
The best solution depends on your property conditions. Common effective options include French drains, catch basins, regrading, sump pump systems, and downspout extensions. A professional assessment determines the right combination for your property.
Yes. Water pooling against your foundation seeps into cracks, erodes supporting soil, and can cause settling, cracking, and structural damage over time. Foundation protection through proper drainage is essential in New Orleans.
Start by extending downspouts 4 to 6 feet from your foundation. Ensure the ground slopes away from your home. Install catch basins in low spots. Consider a French drain system for persistent problems. Consult a professional for comprehensive solutions.
Yes. Standing water is a primary breeding ground for mosquitoes. In New Orleans warm climate, even small pools of standing water can produce large mosquito populations. Proper drainage eliminates breeding habitat and reduces mosquito activity on your property.
