Drainage Solutions in Overland Park, KS and surrounding areas
Standing water in your yard doesn't fix itself — it finds your foundation.
Kansas City's clay soil and heavy spring storms are a brutal combination. Water that pools against your home works into basements, heaves concrete, kills grass, and turns beds into swamps. Mission Exteriors designs and installs permanent drainage solutions for homeowners across Overland Park, Leawood, Prairie Village, and Johnson County.
Mission Exteriors installs permanent drainage systems for homeowners throughout Overland Park, Leawood, Prairie Village, Mission Hills, Lenexa, Shawnee, Olathe, and all of Johnson County.
Standing water is not a minor inconvenience. It is water finding its way toward your foundation, saturating your soil, drowning your landscaping, and creating conditions that get worse every season. Johnson County's heavy clay soil makes this especially common — clay absorbs water slowly, which means surface pooling and soil saturation persist for days after a storm.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
The clearest signs are water pooling near your foundation after rain, a basement that gets wet during storms, soggy lawn areas that stay wet for days, or visible erosion channels cutting through your yard. Johnson County's clay soil makes all of these more common — clay absorbs water slowly, so problems that would drain quickly elsewhere tend to linger here.
-
A French drain works underground — it intercepts water moving through the soil and redirects it away from your home before it surfaces. A dry creek bed works above ground — it catches and channels water that is already moving across the surface of your yard. Many properties need both. We assess the situation and recommend the right solution for what you are actually dealing with.

Most residential drainage projects range from $800 to $4,500 depending on the type of system, the size of the area, and the soil and slope conditions on your property. We do not quote over the phone. Every property is different, and an accurate number requires a site visit. Assessments are free with no obligation.

We do disturb the surface during installation, but we restore it when we are done. Most lawns recover fully within one growing season. We work carefully around existing landscaping and let you know upfront if anything significant will be affected.
-
Most residential projects are completed in one to two days. Larger or more complex jobs may take three days. We give you a timeline before we start and stick to it.
