Gutter drain basins that route water away from the foundation.
A trenched basin pulls the discharge underground and routes it well clear of the house — the right call when a splash block isn't cutting it.

When you need one
Most Florida homes are fine with a downspout running into a splash block. A drain basin is what you want when that's not enough — downspouts dropping water right at the foundation, yards that stay soaked for days after a heavy storm, clay soil that holds water near the house, or hurricane runoff that overwhelms the drainage already in place.
What we install
We trench the line from the downspout, tie in a drain basin (or a French drain if the situation calls for it), and route the discharge to a pop-up emitter clear of the house — or to a street drain if there's one available. The whole thing sits underground once we're done.
What to expect
This is a yard-disruption job. We trench, install, backfill, and replace sod over the line. Half a day to a day, depending on scope. We call 811 for utility locates before we put a shovel in the ground.
A few things worth knowing
A splash block usually does the job
If a $20 splash block fixes your problem, we'll say so. Drain basins are for situations where one isn't enough.
