The Problem
Macomb Township's Fastest Growing Community Has a Drainage Problem Builders Don't Fix Before They Leave.
Macomb Township has been one of Southeast Michigan’s most active new construction markets for years. Subdivisions go up fast. Builders move on faster. And what they leave behind — compacted subsoil, negative grades, minimal drainage infrastructure — becomes the new homeowner’s problem from the first rainstorm.
New construction drainage problems in Macomb Township show up in a predictable pattern. Water pools in the yard within the first season. The grade slopes toward the foundation instead of away from it. The builder’s splash blocks and basic downspout extensions don’t move the volume. And within two or three years, what started as soggy spots becomes basement seepage, foundation pressure, and expensive damage.
This isn’t just a new construction problem. Macomb Township’s established neighborhoods sit on the same heavy clay soil that holds water season after season. The problem compounds every year it goes unaddressed.
Is this happening at your Macomb Township home?
- ✓Water pools in your yard after every rain — new construction or established
- ✓Your grade slopes toward your foundation instead of away from it
- ✓The builder’s drainage solution failed within the first two years
- ✓Water is appearing in your basement or crawl space after heavy rain
- ✓Your sump pump runs constantly but can’t keep up
- ✓Soggy spots in your yard that never fully dry out between storms
The Solution
French Drain Installation in Macomb Township — Engineered for Your Specific Property From the Ground Up.
Every Macomb Township property has a different water story. The grade, the soil compaction, the existing drainage infrastructure, the foundation type, and the water volume all affect what kind of system your yard actually needs. Tatrabuilt starts every job with a full site assessment — not a standard solution pulled from a template.
Full Site Assessment & Drainage Plan
We identify where water enters, how it travels, and exactly where it needs to discharge before we design anything.
Engineering-Level System Design
Patrik Bujnak’s architectural background means your system is designed, not guessed — especially critical in new construction environments.
Precision Trenching
Cut to the correct depth and slope for your specific grade — not a standard depth applied to every job.
Commercial-Grade Pipe & Filter Fabric
Sized for your water volume and built for Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles — not the cheapest option available.
Grading Correction
Negative slopes corrected so water flows away from your foundation permanently — not just during the install.
Proper Discharge Routing
Water exits your property permanently and legally — not onto a neighbor’s yard or back toward your foundation.
Free Downspout & Leaf Cleanout
Included with every install — no extra charge, no extra appointment.
1-Year Warranty
If it doesn’t drain, we fix it — at no cost to you. No fine print.

Real Reviews
What Macomb County Homeowners Are Saying About Tatrabuilt.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Had the guys put a french drain in to redirect water away from the house. They tied in the gutters into the system as well. They were great on pricing and did a good job. In and out in a day and a half and you cant even tell they were here once they put the grass back. Would recommend.”
