Perimeter drains and stormwater systems that move water away from your foundation, so it stops pooling, flooding, or washing out your yard.
Drainage Systems
Where water collects
Water Belongs Away From Your Foundation
Water shows up where you don’t want it. A basement that’s damp after every storm, a yard that stays soggy for days, a puddle that never leaves the low spot by the house. Left alone, it works away at your foundation, your landscaping, and the ground itself.
Drainage is about giving it somewhere to go. We put in perimeter drains around the foundation to carry groundwater off, French drains to pull standing water out of a wet yard, and stormwater systems that move roof and surface runoff off the property before it pools. Every lot sheds differently, so the system gets built for yours.
Victoria gives drainage systems a real workout. Heavy winter rain, rock that holds moisture in place, clay that won’t let it pass, and older homes whose original perimeter drains gave out years ago. We dig down to the problem with compact excavators, break past rock where it’s trapping things, and set the pipe and the slope so everything runs toward the street or the ditch and off your property.
Water always finds the low ground. The job is making sure that low ground is away from your foundation.
Start to finish
From the Quote to a Yard That Drains
- We walk the site and find where the problem starts. We look at where it pools, how the lot sits, and where runoff could be sent. Then we talk it over and give you a written price and timeline.
- We dig the trenches and lay the drains. The compact excavator opens the trenches to depth, we cut out rock where it’s in the way, and the perimeter drains and stormwater lines go in, bedded so they keep carrying for the long run.
- We route everything away and grade it back. We direct the lines to where the runoff can safely go, then backfill and grade the surface so it follows the drains instead of sitting.
- We clean up and check the flow.
The ground gets put back and tidied, and we make sure everything moves the way it should before we call it done.

Why Auzzie's Earthworx for Drainage
What you’re fixing is where it all ends up, and that takes digging done right, not a pipe dropped in a trench.
- We dig to the source. Compact excavators get down to the footing and into tight side yards, so the drain goes where the problem is, not where it’s easy to reach.
- The system is built for your lot. How the ground sits, where the rain runs, and where runoff can go all shape how we lay the drainage system, so it holds up in a Victoria winter.
- We dig it in and clean up after. We excavate, lay the pipe, grade the ground back, and haul the spoil, so you’re left with a working yard drainage system and a tidy property.
