Pattern 01
Roof runoff at the foundation
Original-builder downspouts often discharged 12-24" from the wall. After 10+ years of saturation, foundation cracks and basement leaks follow. Burying the discharge 10-20 feet out solves it.

Raymore Drainage Notes
What we typically see on Raymore homes.
A booming southern-metro suburb with one of the fastest residential growth rates in the region, Raymore offers affordable new construction and excellent schools. Drainage problems show up differently based on lot grade, soil, and the era of the home.
Pattern 02
Low spots that won't drain
Yard regrading + a surface catch basin tied to buried pipe handles most of these. We daylight discharge to a swale or curb where municipal code allows.
Pattern 03
Saturated soil against the foundation
Where roof runoff is fine but groundwater is the problem, a perimeter French drain in gravel with filter fabric collects subsurface water before it reaches the wall.

Honest Scope Note
When drainage isn't enough.
Premier Gutters KC is a drainage contractor, not a licensed engineer.

We'll tell you honestly during the free assessment whether drainage will solve the problem or whether you need engineering input first.
Raymore Drainage FAQ
Common questions from Raymore homeowners.
How much does a French drain cost in Raymore?
+
Most Raymore French drain installs run $1,800-$4,500 depending on linear footage, depth, and where the water gets discharged. Simple downspout-to-drain extensions start around $400. Every quote is written, free, and includes labor, pipe, gravel, fabric, and cleanup.
How fast can you install drainage in Raymore?
+
After your free assessment, most Raymore drainage installs schedule within 2-3 weeks. Active water-in-basement emergencies get same-week priority. Excavation timing depends on weather and ground conditions.
Do I need a French drain or just downspout extensions?
+
Downspout extensions solve roof-runoff problems at the foundation perimeter. French drains solve groundwater and saturated-soil problems by collecting and redirecting subsurface water. We assess your Raymore home for both during the free site visit and recommend the lowest-cost option that actually fixes the issue.
Will a French drain damage my Raymore lawn?
+
Excavation requires opening a trench, but we restore grade, replace topsoil, and reseed disturbed turf. Most Raymore lawns recover within one growing season. We coordinate utility locates (Missouri 811 / Kansas Call Before You Dig) before any digging.
Is drainage work warrantied in Raymore?
+
Yes — every Raymore French drain and drainage install carries a 25-year workmanship warranty. Pipe, fabric, and gravel are sourced from professional drainage suppliers; we don't use big-box residential-grade materials.
