Why Choose Cruger Contracting for Drainage Systems & Water Management in Dover Plains

Cruger Contracting LLC specializes in diagnosing and solving drainage problems that threaten property stability and curb appeal in Dover Plains, Dutchess County. Poor drainage can lead to foundation damage, soil erosion, and flooded lawns — but these issues are preventable with proper design and installation. Our process begins with a detailed site evaluation to assess slope, grading, soil type, and water flow patterns. We design systems that fit your property, using a combination of subsurface French drains, catch basins, dry wells, and regrading techniques to direct water safely away from your home and landscaping.

Every installation follows strict preparation standards, including precise trench depth, proper slope, clean stone base, and high-quality perforated piping with filter fabric to prevent clogging. Surface systems like swales and downspout redirections are integrated seamlessly into lawns or hardscapes for clean, functional results. Cruger Contracting LLC combines technical precision with real-world experience, ensuring every system is built to handle NY rainfall and freeze-thaw conditions year after year. Most drainage installations in Dover Plains, Dutchess County are completed within 2–5 days depending on property size and soil conditions.
