Local water challenges
Every property is different — but DeLand homeowners keep calling us about the same water problems. Here's what we solve most often in Volusia County.
(386) 259-0023Slow-draining inland soils
Standing water in large-lot yards
Erosion on sloped properties
Long discharge distances on multi-acre lots
The Proven Solution
DeLand’s inland soils and larger lots can hold water after multi-day rain events. Historic downtown properties, Victoria Park, Glenwood, and Lake Winnemissett areas each need different trench layouts — especially where trees, septic setbacks, or long discharge runs matter. We combine grading corrections with subsurface French drains and sumps when lots are too flat for gravity alone. Erosion on slopes is addressed with collection points uphill of problem areas so water is captured before it undermines landscaping.
A properly installed French drain + sump pump system actively lowers the water table around your foundation and removes water before it can damage your home, crawl space, or slab.
A French drain + sump pump system is like giving your house an active drainage system that fights back against Florida’s high water table and heavy rains. It won’t stop a direct hurricane flood, but it dramatically reduces the risk of foundation damage, crawl space flooding, and moisture problems that are very common in our area. Professional installation with proper sizing, filter fabric, check valves, and battery backup makes a big difference. French drains, sump pumps, and 2026 cost guide.
Often yes — longer trenches, multiple collection points, or dual sumps may be required. Design is property-specific.
Sometimes for mild surface pooling. Chronic high water table or foundation moisture usually needs subsurface drains plus discharge.
Yes. FloGuard serves DeLand including Victoria Park, Glenwood, Lake Winnemissett, and Cresswind.
We plan trench paths to respect major roots and utilities. Some routes use hand work or alternate layouts to protect canopy trees.
Our system in DeLand
Rain and runoff collect in problem areas around the home.
A trench with clean gravel and filter fabric intercepts water before it reaches the foundation.
4" perforated pipe in the trench captures water and carries it by gravity to the sump pit.
Waterproof basin at the lowest point collects water. Automatic pump activates via float switch.
Pump pushes water far from the foundation (10–20+ ft) to a swale, storm drain, or approved location.
What we install in DeLand
01Perimeter trench systems that intercept surface runoff and groundwater before it reaches your foundation or pools on the lawn. Contains perforated pipe in clean gravel wrapped with filter fabric to keep sediment out.
02For crawlspaces and low, flat lots: a sub-surface drain routed to a sump basin that automatically lifts water to a safe discharge. The active defense when gravity alone isn’t enough. A waterproof basin collects water; a submersible pump with float switch pushes it far away.
03Catch basins, channel drains and precision grading that move water off patios, lanais and low spots without eroding your landscape.
04Seasonal service plans and smart monitoring that keep your system storm-ready year round — so it works the day you need it most.
