Residential Drainage Solutions
Keep Water Where It Should Be — Away From Your Home
Water where it doesn’t belong leads to big problems: soggy yards, basement seepage, shifting foundations. At Harris Excavation, we install and maintain residential drainage systems anywhere from San Mateo to Mammoth Lakes that protect your home, property, and peace of mind — especially in California’s variable weather conditions.
From French drains and catch basins to grading adjustments and dry wells, we help homeowners manage stormwater effectively to get it away from their structures into the right spot. Whether you’re dealing with standing water after heavy rain or preparing a new build site for proper runoff, we bring precision, experience, and clear communication every step of the way

Let’s keep water where it belongs
Water damage doesn’t announce itself, it shows up months later in cracked foundations, soggy yards, and eroding hillsides. That’s why proper residential drainage isn’t just a landscaping detail; it’s one of the most important investments you can make in your property.
At Harris Excavation, we design and install drainage systems built for California’s conditions, from the wet winters on the Peninsula to the snowmelt runoff in the Eastern Sierras. Whether you’re dealing with standing water after a storm, a foundation that’s collecting moisture, or a new build that needs proper grading from the start, we bring the equipment, experience, and attention to detail to get it right.
From French drains and catch basins to dry wells and custom grading solutions, we work alongside homeowners, builders, and property managers to protect what they’ve built. Every drainage system we install is designed to last. We use the most robust drainage pipe in the industry.
