Standing Water? Flooding After Storms? We Fix the Drainage.
Central Florida is flat, sandy, and gets hammered by rain — between summer afternoon storms and hurricane season, drainage problems show up fast. We find the source and fix it so the water actually goes somewhere.

Where The Water Is Going Wrong
Standing water doesn't just look bad — it damages structures, kills landscaping, breeds mosquitoes, and gets worse every storm. These are the problems we fix.
Water Pooling Near the Foundation
Standing water against the house siding is a slow-motion problem. It rots wood, cracks slabs, and floods crawl spaces. We grade away from the structure and add drainage to keep water moving past it.
Washed-Out Driveways
Every heavy rain takes more of your driveway with it. The culvert is too small, the slope is wrong, or there's no drainage where the water hits. We fix all three.
Soggy Yards That Won't Dry
Yards that stay wet for days after a storm have a drainage problem the topsoil can't fix on its own. French drains and regrading move that water out.
Drainage Backing Up in Storms
If your existing drains can't keep up during heavy rain, the system is undersized or clogged. We upsize, clear, or replace as needed.
Property Flooding After Hurricanes
Big storms expose every drainage weakness. Standing water in fields, washed-out access, eroded slopes. We rebuild and reinforce so the next one doesn't do the same damage.
Driveway and Culvert Problems
Failing culverts, wrong-sized pipes, eroded shoulders. We install and replace driveway culverts to spec — sized for the actual water volume.
Real Drainage Fixes, Not Quick Patches
Most drainage problems look small until the next storm. A soggy spot becomes a sinkhole. A pooled corner becomes a flooded foundation. A washed-out driveway becomes impassable. We don't put a band-aid on the symptom — we walk the property, trace where the water actually comes from, and design a fix that handles the worst storms, not just the average one.
Hoag Land Services handles the full range of residential and commercial drainage work in Central Florida. Swale grading to redirect surface runoff. French drains for chronic soggy spots. Culvert installation and replacement for driveways. Regrading to fix the slope. Dry wells where the soil drains well enough to use them. Erosion control to protect what we just installed.
Every job ends with the water moving where it should go and the property protected for the next round of storms — not just dried out for today.
How We Fix It
Five steps from problem to permanent fix.
Walk the Property
We come out and see the problem firsthand during a storm event if possible, or look for the telltale signs.
Find the Source
Most flooding has a cause upstream of where you see the problem. We trace it back.
Design the Fix
Swales, drains, regrading, culverts — whatever the property actually needs. No upsell.
Install
Heavy equipment in, work done right, debris hauled.
Test
We watch what the next rain does. If something needs adjustment, we come back.

Sandy, clay, mucky, wet — Central Florida soils vary by the half-mile. We bring equipment matched to what's actually in the ground.
Storm-Tested Designs
We design for the worst storms, not the average ones. The fix has to hold up to a 6-inch downpour, not just an afternoon shower.
