Direct Water Away From Your Home Before Damage Starts
Grading is the first layer of drainage engineering. If slope is wrong, every other component works harder and fails sooner. We correct grades to guide runoff away from structures and into controlled collection and discharge routes.
Why Grade Matters for Idaho Homes
- Foundation moisture control: proper fall reduces saturation at footing zones.
- Runoff distribution: controlled slope prevents concentrated flow and erosion.
- System efficiency: drains and basins perform better when grade supports natural movement.
- Seasonal resilience: spring runoff events are easier to manage when water has clear exit paths.
Our Grading Process
- Elevation review: identify highs, lows, and structures at risk.
- Flow-path mapping: determine where runoff should move and where it currently stalls.
- Cut/fill strategy: reshape landscape for positive drainage and long-term stability.
- Drainage integration: pair grading with collection systems and basin intake where needed.
When Grading Should Be Paired With Other Work
- Basement seepage present: combine with interior moisture control.
- Structural cracking present: include foundation diagnostics.
- Slope washout risk: pair with erosion control.

Common Failure Signs in Boise
Negative Grade Toward Foundation
Soil profile sends water toward walls, crawl space vents, or window wells.
Frequent Surface Saturation
Poor slope leaves broad, shallow ponding zones after storms.
Repeat Drainage Callbacks
Spot repairs fail because base grading geometry was never corrected.
