At Imperial Pro, we understand that your home's foundation is a significant investment. Excessive standing water around your foundation leads to foundation issues such as heaving, erosion, and even settlement due to the expansive clay soils in the greater Houston area. Balancing moisture levels is crucial for maintaining the stability and integrity of your foundation. To ensure its long-term stability and structural integrity, proper drainage solutions are crucial. Imperial Pro is a certified NDS drainage contractor that provides a comprehensive range of drainage services designed to protect your foundation and property from the damaging effects of excess moisture.
Standing water and improper slope around your home can silently erode your foundation’s structural stability. In Fort Bend County’s clay-rich soils, proper drainage isn’t just landscaping—it’s essential protection.
Proper grading keeps moisture from pooling around your home’s perimeter, helping reduce the risk of slab movement, soil expansion, and interior cracking.
Without effective guttering and site slope, rainwater can saturate soil near your foundation. Our drainage solutions manage runoff and keep moisture balanced where it matters.
Standing water doesn't just damage foundations—it erodes patios, walkways, and your landscaping investment. Our drainage corrections protect your entire property.
We specialize in Fort Bend County terrain, tailoring each grading and drainage plan to local soil behavior and long-term water management needs.

Improper grading causes water to pool near the foundation, which increases soil movement and leads to structural damage. Positive slope directs water away from the slab, helping prevent foundation settlement and cracks.
The recommended slope is at least 6 inches of fall within the first 10 feet from your foundation. This ensures that rainwater flows away from your home and doesn’t cause moisture imbalance under the slab.
If you notice standing water near the home, erosion, mildew on siding, or cracks in the foundation, your property may have grading or drainage issues. Our inspections identify problems and recommend smart, long-term solutions.
Solutions may include regrading soil, French drains, surface swales, downspout extensions, and sump pump installations. We customize recommendations based on your specific drainage problem and property layout.
