End standing water, soggy spots and erosion with engineered drainage.
Standing water pooling in your yard after a spring rain is not just annoying in Schertz-it is a real problem. The blackland clay here swells and shrinks with the seasons, creating low spots and soggy patches that damage grass, invite mosquitoes, and erode your soil. Drainage solutions from Corral Bros stop that water in its tracks with site-specific grading, French drains, and channel drains engineered for how your property actually slopes.
The newer master-planned communities along the I-35 and FM 78 corridor-places like The Crossvine, Ashley Park, and Forest Ridge-often sit on compacted fill that holds water like a bowl. We assess your site, identify where the water wants to go, and build a system that moves it safely away from your home and landscape. No guesswork, no generic fixes.
We are a family-run, locally owned outfit, licensed and insured for residential and commercial work. We offer free no-obligation on-site estimates, usually scheduled within 48 hours. Call us at (737) 404-9343 to walk your property with someone who knows Schertz ground.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Schertz property like our own — tidy crews, clear pricing, and drainage solutions that holds up to Guadalupe County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
Standing water is fixed by correcting the grade and adding drainage that carries water away: French drains, channel drains, downspout extensions and dry creek beds. We assess how water moves across your property, then design a system suited to Central Texas clay and heavy storms.
A French drain is a gravel-filled trench with perforated pipe that collects and redirects subsurface and surface water away from problem areas and foundations. You likely need one if you have soggy spots, water against the house, or a slope that sheds water toward your home.
Call us if you see water sitting more than a few hours after rain, or if certain spots stay soggy for days. Even minor pooling can rot roots, kill grass, and cause erosion over time. In Schertz, where our clay swells and shrinks, these small problems grow into big ones. We'll spot issues you might not even realize are problems yet.
Absolutely. Blackland clay is actually why proper drainage matters so much here-it doesn't absorb water the way sandy soil does. Our grading, French drains, and channel drains are designed specifically for dense clay. We also use dry creek beds and erosion control when needed to handle the seasonal swelling and shrinking that happens in Schertz.
Cost depends on your site's slope, the water volume, and the system type. A simple downspout and surface drain costs far less than a full French drain network. We'll walk your property, identify the real problem, and give you a free no-obligation estimate with honest numbers. Call (737) 404-9343 to get started.
Most residential projects in Schertz take one to three days, depending on scope. A downspout reroute might be a few hours; a French drain system across multiple soggy areas takes longer. We'll give you a clear timeline at the estimate walk-through so you know what to expect.
French drains run underground, catching subsurface water and directing it away from your property. Channel drains sit at the surface along slopes or downhill of structures to catch running water. Often we use both-French drains handle the underground seepage, surface drains manage the slope flow. We'll recommend what fits your Schertz property.
