Burien Drainage System Clearing
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien yards get a lot of rain, coastal humidity, and frequent fall leaf drop that quickly clog gutters, downspouts, and dry wells. Many homes sit on glacial till or compacted soils that drain slowly, and shady lots near Seahurst Park encourage moss and surface run-off. Slopes toward foundations, tight side yards, and older underground drains often back up during heavy storms, causing soggy lawns, mud, and basement seepage. Renters and landlords want low-maintenance, durable fixes that reduce tenant calls and keep properties rentable.
Owners typically want solutions that keep water moving away from foundations, reduce standing puddles, and cut down on ongoing maintenance. Sustainable approaches—like regrading, adding gravel or cobbles, installing gutter guards, and planting deep‑rooted native plants—work well here. We focus on fixes that lower long‑term costs, improve curb appeal in neighborhoods like White Center, and protect assets through the wet season.

Before & After / Expectations
After clearing expect faster drainage, fewer puddles, and less moss in shaded areas.

Sustainable maintenance avoids herbicides—use compost, mulch, and native plants to stabilize soils.
