Downspout Drainage Professionals Serving Detroit, MI
Water from your roof has to go somewhere. If it drains too close to your home, it can pool around the foundation, flood your landscaping, and even damage your basement. At Lakeside Pro Services, we specialize in downspout yard drains and drainage solutions that move water safely away from your home or building—protecting your investment long-term.
We understand Detroit’s heavy rainfalls and older property layouts. Whether your existing downspout drain is failing or you’re installing a new one to prevent yard flooding, we tailor every system to your specific property needs. No one-size-fits-all fixes—just solutions that work.
What Our Yard Drainage Services Include
Our team designs and installs comprehensive drainage systems that integrate directly with your roof’s downspouts. We assess slope, soil conditions, property usage, and distance from your foundation to ensure water is diverted where it won’t cause damage. Our drainage services include:
- Downspout extensions to channel runoff far from the home
- French drain integration for high-saturation areas
- Subsurface piping with filtered entry points
- Catch basins and dry wells for areas that pool frequently
- Gutter drain system retrofitting or new installations
We use high-quality HDPE piping, proven excavation techniques, and proper grading to ensure every system we install is built to last and easy to maintain.

Choosing the Right Type of Downspout Yard Drain for Your Property
Not all drainage problems are the same—and not all downspout solutions should be either. At Lakeside Pro Services, we design yard drainage systems that are tailored to your property’s layout, soil type, and runoff challenges. Here are the most common types of downspout drains we install and why they matter:
Surface Extensions
These above-ground extensions attach directly to your downspout and redirect water several feet away from your foundation. While simple, they can be a temporary or low-cost fix for keeping water out of the basement—especially when the slope allows natural drainage away from the home.
Underground Drainage Pipes
This is the most common long-term solution. We connect your downspout to a buried pipe that carries runoff safely away from your home—often to a curb, ditch, or garden bed. This keeps your yard looking clean and avoids damage to landscaping while protecting your foundation from water saturation.
French Drains
In situations where your yard retains water or soil stays soggy after it rains, we may recommend a French drain. These systems use a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel to collect and slowly disperse excess moisture underground, helping eliminate standing water in trouble spots.
Catch Basins
For properties with paved areas or low points that collect water fast, catch basins offer a way to intercept and redirect it. These grated inlets connect to underground pipes and are especially useful near patios, driveways, and walkways where water can pool and freeze or cause erosion.
Dry Wells
When there’s no ideal location to discharge water above ground, a dry well can serve as a containment system. Installed below the surface, it temporarily holds stormwater and allows it to gradually absorb into the surrounding soil—helping to relieve pressure on your yard during heavy rainfall.
Call 586.445.2100 to speak with a drainage expert and get the right solution for your yard.
No matter your drainage challenge, we take a measured, expert approach to ensure your downspout yard drains are built to last, solve the problem, and support your property’s long-term health.
How Our Drainage Installations Work
Every yard is different, which is why we never approach drainage with a one-size-fits-all mindset. First, we evaluate how your property handles water flow—paying attention to slope, soil composition, and how runoff currently moves after it leaves your gutters. From there, we design a custom solution that could involve underground drain pipes, French drains, catch basins, or other proven strategies.
Installation is handled by our experienced team using professional-grade materials, and we take care to preserve your landscape throughout the process. You’ll end up with a clean, seamless solution that quietly protects your home every time it rains.
A Smarter Approach to Yard Drainage
Some companies treat drainage as an afterthought. We don’t. It’s one of the most important steps you can take to protect your home’s structure and prevent long-term moisture issues. When done right, a downspout yard drain system is invisible, low maintenance, and incredibly effective at keeping water away from your foundation and landscaping.
That’s the Lakeside way: do it right, do it efficiently, and make sure you understand every step along the way.
Why Downspout Drainage Matters
Ignoring downspout runoff doesn’t just lead to soggy lawns—it can cost thousands in structural damage. Yard drainage is a practical investment for any Detroit-area property. Homeowners, landlords, and commercial property managers alike turn to Lakeside Pro Services for solutions that:
- Eliminate standing water and slippery walkways
- Reduce basement moisture, mildew, and leaks
- Prevent lawn erosion and landscape degradation
- Protect foundations from hydrostatic pressure
- Improve property appearance and curb appeal
Whether you’ve just noticed a problem or want to proactively protect your home, we’ll guide you through the right solution without upselling or cutting corners.
Do You Really Need a Downspout Drainage System?
If you’re seeing water pooling near your home, soft spots in your lawn, or even signs of moisture in your basement after a storm, chances are your current drainage system isn’t doing its job. These issues are common throughout Detroit, especially in neighborhoods with older homes or compacted soil that doesn’t drain well.
At Lakeside Pro Services, we help homeowners recognize and resolve these drainage red flags before they lead to costly repairs. If rainwater is staying too close to your foundation, it’s only a matter of time before damage starts to show. Our downspout drain installations redirect that water where it belongs—away from your home and out of your life.
