In the often wet and unpredictable weather conditions of Co. Mayo, effective drainage is not just a luxury—it’s essential. Poor water management can lead to serious issues around your home, including flooded gardens, damp basements, cracked foundations, and eroded driveways. At Ballina Tarmacadam Contractors, we offer tailored residential drainage solutions designed to keep your property dry, safe, and structurally sound throughout every season.
Our experienced team understands the challenges unique to Mayo’s climate and terrain. Whether you’re dealing with water pooling near your foundation, constantly soggy patches in your garden, or poor runoff around your driveway or patio, we can design and install a custom drainage system to resolve the issue effectively.
We begin every project with a thorough assessment of your property. We examine ground levels, soil type, rainfall patterns, and existing drainage infrastructure to determine the root cause of the problem. Based on our findings, we recommend a system that may include French drains, surface water drains, soakaways, or land drainage pipes—whatever best suits your property’s specific needs.
French drains are particularly effective in redirecting groundwater away from problem areas. We install these systems with precision, ensuring the correct slope and gravel base so water flows naturally to a designated outlet. For surface water issues like standing water on lawns, patios, or walkways, we install channel drains or catch basins that collect runoff and carry it safely away.
In rural or low-lying properties, we may recommend land drains or soakaways. These underground systems allow water to filter gradually into the soil without flooding your lawn or garden. If you already have an older drainage system that’s not performing well, we can diagnose faults such as collapsed pipes, blockages, or poor grading, and carry out targeted repairs or upgrades.
Living in Co. Mayo means dealing with high rainfall levels throughout much of the year. Without adequate drainage, even well-built homes can suffer the effects of excess moisture. Water pooling near the foundation can seep into the structure, causing cracks, mould growth, and basement flooding. Lawns and gardens can become unusable, while erosion can ruin driveways and walkways.
Investing in a high-quality drainage system not only protects your property value but also improves the safety and usability of your outdoor space. Our systems are designed for long-term performance, ensuring your home remains dry, clean, and protected—no matter the weather.
At Ballina Tarmacadam Contractors, we bring local knowledge, skilled craftsmanship, and a commitment to reliability in every project we undertake. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we focus on designing and installing systems that are tailored to your home’s layout, the natural flow of water, and the conditions unique to your site.
Our team is fully trained, insured, and equipped to handle everything from small residential garden drainage to more complex property-wide solutions. We use quality materials, time-tested methods, and a clean, respectful approach to every jobsite. When we leave, your garden or driveway will not only drain properly—it will look great too.
