Burien Drainage compliance maintenance
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien’s wet, mild climate and varied slopes create common drainage headaches for landlords and homeowners. Heavy fall and winter rains wash leaves and sediment into gutters and catch basins, while compacted clay-loam soils and shaded yards near Seahurst Park encourage moss and slow infiltration. Properties on modest slopes or near the Highline area often see concentrated runoff at driveways, foundation perimeters, and low spots, causing pooling, muddy lawns, and basement dampness. Owners juggling rentals or busy schedules want low-maintenance fixes that meet local stormwater rules, reduce nuisance water, and improve curb appeal without frequent rework. Sustainable, chemical-free approaches—mulch, native plants, gravel, fabric, and rain gardens—work best here, holding water on site and letting it soak in slowly. Regular seasonal checks prevent small clogs from becoming expensive repairs and keep runoff from affecting neighbors and local streams.
Our Quality Service
We inspect gutters, downspouts, surface drains, and visible piping, then clear, adjust, or repair to restore proper flow. Every solution is chosen for Burien conditions: erosion-resistant gravel, native planting for infiltration, and layout tweaks to move water safely away from structures. Benefits include improved safety, longer-lasting systems, better curb appeal, and low ongoing maintenance.
