Giving Water Somewhere to Go

Sometimes there’s no easy place to send water. A dry well solves that by giving water an underground spot to collect and soak into the soil. Dry wells are often paired with downspouts, French drains, or surface drains to handle runoff away from your home. We size and place dry wells based on water volume and soil conditions.

Dry Wells in Monument

Soil Matters

Dry wells need soil that drains. Much of Monument has sandy soil that drains well, though rock and granite near the surface can affect placement. We check before we dig.

Pairing With Downspouts

Dry wells are often the destination for downspout drainage solutions.

Handling Big Storms

Sizing matters. We plan dry wells to handle heavy summer thunderstorms and spring melt.

Working With French Drains

A French drain can feed a dry well when there’s no daylight outlet.

Where Dry Wells Work Best

Dry wells are ideal for low spots, side yards, and areas where there’s no downhill outlet. They’re especially helpful on flat parts of a property where water has nowhere to go. We keep them well away from foundations, septic systems, and wells, and we check for rock before choosing the final spot.

Handling Big Storms

Monument’s summer thunderstorms can drop a lot of water in a short time. We size dry wells with that in mind.
