Drainage Contractor in Lutz, FL

Lutz’s Drainage and Waterproofing Specialists

A drainage contractor in Lutz is solving a different problem from one working down on the Pinellas coast. Lutz is an unincorporated community straddling the Hillsborough and Pasco county line, with about 23,707 residents spread across 26.84 square miles at an elevation of 59 feet. Of that total, 2.41 square miles is water, which is why the problem here is usually runoff rather than a high water table. Water here has somewhere to go, and the question is whether it travels through your yard or around it.

U.S. Route 41 runs through the center of the community, Interstate 275 along the east side, Interstate 75 clips the northeast corner, and State Road 597 forms the western border. Those corridors and the subdivisions around them put a lot of roof, driveway and paving on ground that used to absorb its own rain, and Lake Magdalene to the south is a reminder that a lake has no obligation to stay below the level of your yard. When lake and pond levels come up during the rainy season, the discharge end of a system that was supposed to empty into one simply stops emptying.

Across the 33548, 33549, 33558 and 33559 ZIP codes the work usually starts with volume control: getting roof water out to a point that stays lower than the yard in wet weather. That is why downspout drainage does so much of the lifting on Lutz properties, with a graded yard system or a custom drainage design picking up whatever the roof does not account for. Andriy Garanin is the owner and lead installer and he is on every job, not a sales rep and not a subcontractor, with 8+ years of Florida drainage experience behind 20+ years of construction and remodeling. Lutz sits in the same service area as Wesley Chapel to the northeast and Temple Terrace and Tampa to the south.

Common Drainage Problems in Lutz

• Lots that drain toward a lake or pond, not a storm main
• Roof and driveway runoff concentrated on one low corner of a large lot
• Discharge points that stop working once lake and pond levels rise
• Sheet flow arriving from higher ground on adjoining parcels
• Standing water on flat interior yard areas despite 59 feet of elevation
• Moisture held against the foundation where runoff has no route away

Services Available in Lutz

Downspout Drainage

Roof water is the largest single volume on most Lutz lots, so it goes underground to a discharge point that stays lower than the yard when the lakes are up.

Yard Drainage

Catch basins and regrading for the flat interior stretches of the larger Lutz lots, where 59 feet of elevation still leaves a dip that holds water for days.

Yard Drainage →

French Drain Installation

Subsurface collection for the Lutz yards that take sheet flow off higher adjoining ground, tied to an outlet that still sits below the water the line carries.
