Let's Get That Water Moving
Super responsive and easy to work with! Asked for a quote and they were out next day and once the quote was accepted the work was completed within 2-3 days. They cleared out my channel drain and fixed the what the previous pool deck company had done wrong as well as installed clean outs and drainage away from all of my pool equipment all in a single day. 100% professional and eased any worries I had about water pooling near my foundation! Can’t say enough good things about this crew.
My drain is perfect. It traverses the length of my side yard and had to be installed through heavy tree roots. The drain dudes killed it! We finally had enough rain to see the pop up drain! Nash and Joe did a stellar job. Don’t use anyone else. Call these guys they do the work right, and at the best price.
The crew that came out was great. friendly, did great work and cleaned up. rate was 1/3 of other companies and they offered more services for the money and quicker booking. no reason to over pay elsewhere.
Jo and the Team from Tampa Drain Dudes arrived on time, were very courteous and professional. From the consultation appointment to actual date of service, Nash was able to explain what diagnostics would be done and what repairs would be suggested for my backyard water drainage issue. They installed another drain that extended to the back of my property line that connected to the current French drain attached to the home. All of the work was done in a day. They were very efficient and I am very happy with the work that was completed. Thank you Jo and Nash!
Tampa Drain Dudes did an amazing job on my system! The crew was courteous and hardworking, especially Johnny! They even made sure to clean up before they left. Would highly recommend!
Highly recommended!! Crew is knowledgeable and courteous. Great communication and professional. Helped solve significant residential ground water drainage issues as well as pool drain servicing.
Don’t waste your time looking anywhere else. Hire TAMPA DRAIN DUDES! Although I initially needed them for a drainage issue, they truly do so much more for your home needs. They really are the jack of all trades! Nash, Joe, and the entire crew were fantastic to work with, friendly, professional, and clearly proud of their work. They were punctual, extremely thorough, and their pricing was more economical than other companies I contacted. Even though there wasn’t any rain right after the job was completed, I was very impressed with the quality of their work and the care they put into everything. Once we finally had a little rain and I noticed a few things with the drainage system, I reached out to them. Without hesitation, they came back out, scheduled a follow-up, and made the necessary adjustments. I believe will again if needed. I 100% recommend Tampa Drain Dudes and will definitely be using them again in the future for additional home improvements. A great experience from start to finish! 🙂
Fantastic work, well-run company. I contacted them through the website, immediate response and times for estimate. Nash came out [he is in the videos] and quickly looked at the job, understood my concerns and was easily available for a follow up call to answer my questions. Pricing was reasonable. The job was scheduled within days. Nash returned with his crew on time. Towards the end of the job Johnny and Tristan took care of final details my wife wondered about. Friendly, competent, and knowledgeable. I expect to have their help with other areas that will need to be addressed. They are the real deal! Good job all of you! Shout out for Johnny and Tristan too!

Regrading
Professional regrading can be one of the most effective ways to improve drainage, eliminate standing water, and restore the appearance of an uneven yard. Over time, many properties develop low spots, bumps, depressions, and poor grading that allow water to collect after heavy rain, leading to muddy areas, turf damage, and ongoing drainage issues.
Regrading involves reshaping the soil to create proper drainage patterns that direct water away from the home and toward appropriate discharge areas. In many cases, regrading can significantly reduce pooling water without the need for extensive drainage systems.
Many homeowners also choose to install new sod after regrading to create a smooth, healthy lawn free of ruts, lumps, and low spots. The result is a yard that not only drains better but also looks cleaner, safer, and easier to maintain.
At Tampa Drain Dudes, we take a practical approach to drainage solutions and often combine regrading with sod installation, French drains, catch basins, or downspout drainage when needed. Every property is different, but our goal is always to solve the root cause of the problem rather than simply treating the symptoms.
Swales
A French drain is a trench filled with gravel or rock that contains a perforated pipe, wrapped in fabric and designed to redirect surface and groundwater away from problem areas around your home or yard. When installed correctly, French drains are one of the most effective ways to prevent flooding, erosion, foundation damage, and soggy landscaping.
But here’s the problem:
We see French drains installed wrong all the time, and often, when they are not even needed. Too often, drains are thrown in without proper slope, no fabric wrap, cheap pipe, or the wrong gravel—and the result is a system that clogs up, backs up, and fails when you need it most.
