  • Why is my yard flooding when it rains?

    Flooding is usually caused by poor grading, compacted soil, or low spots that prevent water from draining properly. When your yard slopes toward you instead of away, water collects instead of flowing off the property. In St Louis, clay-heavy soil makes this more common because it doesn't absorb water well. If you need professional drainage solutions in St Louis, MO, give us a call.
  • How do I fix standing water in my yard?

    The right solution depends on the cause, but common fixes include:

    • Regrading the yard to direct water away
    • Installing a French drain or catch basin
    • Adding topsoil to low areas

     

    A professional inspection ensures the water is redirected properly and not just moved to another problem area. For long-lasting drainage solutions in St Louis, MO, call our team at Crete Doc today.

  • Do I need a French drain or grading?

    It depends. Grading fixes surface-level drainage and slope issues, while French drains handle underground water or persistent pooling. Most properties need a combination of both to fully solve the problem, not just provide a temporary fix. For the drainage solutions St Louis, MO residents depend on, call our team today.
  • Can existing concrete be resurfaced?

    Yes, concrete resurfacing is one of the most popular restoration services. A new layer is applied over existing concrete to:

    • Improve appearance
    • Cover cracks or discoloration
    • Extend the lifespan of the surface

     

    It's a great option for driveways, patios, and walkways. This can often save you the time and expense of hiring excavation contractors in St Louis, MO to tear out the entire slab.

  • Do I need a permit for demolition in St Louis?

    In most cases, yes, especially for structural demolition. Permits ensure the work meets local safety and zoning requirements. A professional demolition contractor will typically handle the permit process for you. Reach out to our team today to get started with one of the go-to demolition companies in St Louis, MO.
