Drainage, Water Mitigation & Septic Services in Winston-Salem & the Triad
ZC Grading & Land Management solves water problems before they destroy lawns, driveways, and foundations. From regrading to drainage systems and septic excavation support, we build practical fixes that hold up long-term.
Water Mitigation Services
Yard Drainage Fixes (Regrading, Swales, Diversions)
Most drainage issues are solved with correct grading. We reshape the land so water moves away from structures and stops pooling in low spots.
French Drains & Drainage Systems
When grading alone isn’t enough, we install drainage solutions to collect and redirect water effectively.
Erosion Control for Residential Properties
If runoff is cutting ruts or washing out slopes, we stabilize the area and slow the water down so you stop losing soil.
Septic Support Services
Septic Excavation & Site Prep
We support septic projects with excavation and prep where needed, coordinating around access, soil conditions, and your system requirements.
- Excavation and backfill support
- Access and staging prep
- Site restoration grading
Warning Signs You Need Drainage Work

Drainage & Septic FAQs
Can you fix water running toward my house?
Yes—typically with regrading and/or diversion. Photos and a quick site look determine the right approach.
Do French drains always work?
They work when designed correctly for the specific problem. Sometimes regrading is the better first move.
Do you install full septic systems?
We can provide excavation and site prep support and coordinate with your septic installer/engineer as needed.
