Water Drainage Solutions in Wrentham, Norfolk, Franklin & Foxboro, MA and Beyond

Standing water is a grade problem, not a mystery

We handle water drainage solutions for homeowners, business owners and property managers across Wrentham, Norfolk, Franklin, Foxboro, Plainville, Medway and Bellingham. Whether you need one project or care all season long, you deal with the owner. That is true from the first phone call to the final walkthrough. There is no salesperson, call center or rotating crew of subcontractors in between. We have built our name in these towns since 2012. That work spans water drainage solutions and the full range of landscape and hardscape jobs. Reviews and repeat customers are the reason most of our new jobs come from word of mouth.

Water always wins — the job is giving it somewhere better to go. We fix wet lawns, flooded beds and icy walks at the source.

French drains, catch basins, swales, downspout extensions and regrading, each daylighted or drywelled so the water leaves and stays gone.

Water always tells you the same thing: the grade sends it somewhere it should not go, and it has nowhere better to escape. A wet basement, a soggy lawn that never dries, ice sheets on the walk in winter, mulch washing out of beds — all of it traces back to water arriving faster than the site can move it away. The fix is never guesswork; it is diagnosing the water path and giving the water a designed route out.

Depending on the problem that might be a French drain intercepting subsurface water, a swale reshaping the surface flow, downspout extensions carrying roof water past the foundation, or a regrade. What every real drainage fix has in common is a proper outlet — daylight or a drywell — so the water actually leaves rather than reappearing ten feet away.

• ✓Standing water in the lawn days after rain

• ✓French drains and basins
• ✓Swales and regrading

Every one of those items is part of the price we quote, not an upsell we spring on you halfway through.

How the job runs

We keep the process simple and predictable so you always know what is happening and what comes next. Here is how a water drainage solutions job runs with Ten Four, from the first call to the final walkthrough, with the owner reachable at every step.

What drives the price

Honest answer: water drainage solutions are priced by the job, not off a rate card, because no two properties are the same. Anyone who quotes you a firm price over the phone without seeing the site is guessing, and that guess usually turns into a change order later. We would rather walk the property, understand exactly what you want, and give you a real written number. A few of the things that move the price up or down:

When to schedule

Hardscape can go in almost any frost-free month, but spring and early fall book up first, so the smart move is to get on the schedule a season ahead. Our calendar for water drainage solutions fills up fastest in spring and early fall, so the sooner you reach out, the more flexibility you have on timing. If you are planning ahead, we are happy to get you on the schedule early and confirm the details closer to the date.

The crew and the equipment

Every water drainage solutions job is run by Seth and our own crew, not subcontractors, with the equipment and materials matched to the work in front of us. The person who quotes your job is the person on site while it is built, so nothing gets lost between the estimate and the finished result. We show up with the right machines for the job, keep the site clean while we work, and leave it the way we would want our own property left. We source our materials from suppliers we have worked with for years, so what goes into your water drainage solutions is the same quality we would put on our own homes, not the cheapest thing available that week.

Our service area

Our yard is in Wrentham, so water drainage solutions in Wrentham, Norfolk, Franklin, Foxboro, Plainville, Medway and Bellingham are close-to-home work for us, not a drive we pad the estimate to cover. We know the clay-heavy New England soil, the frost depth that decides how we build, and the freeze-thaw that punishes anything built shallow or drained poorly. We live and work in the same towns you do. If you ever need us back, we are only a short drive away. We also care what the neighbors think of the work, because they are our neighbors too.

About your estimate

Your water drainage solutions estimate is free and in writing, with the scope spelled out line by line — no vague allowances that balloon once the work is underway. Seth walks the property with you before we quote it, listens to what you are actually trying to solve, and puts a real number on paper. If something changes once we open up the site, you hear about it before we do the work, not after. We will also tell you honestly if a smaller, cheaper approach would serve you just as well — we would rather do the right-sized job and earn the next one than oversell you once.

Why a local owner-operator

Seth Dias owns Ten Four and is on the job, not just on the estimate, so the person accountable for your water drainage solutions is the person actually doing it. We have worked in these towns since 2012 and built a five-star Google reputation the honest way, one finished job at a time. A big franchise can send a different crew every visit; with us, you get the same face, the same standards and someone who still has to see you at the hardware store next week. That accountability is the whole point of hiring a local owner-operator. Our name is on the truck, on the estimate and on the reputation. Cutting a corner on your water drainage solutions is never worth it to us.
