The CT Shoreline's Dedicated Drainage Company

Drainage Pro of CT is the Connecticut Shoreline's only contractor built exclusively around drainage. We get water off your property and away from your building, and that is the only thing we do.

How Drainage Pro of CT Got Started

We built CT GutterPro in 1986 on a straightforward idea: focus on one trade and do it better than anyone else in the region. Four decades later, that approach has served more than 8,500 customers and built a reputation across the Connecticut Shoreline for honest work, expert installation, and service that holds up long after we leave your property.

Over those years on job after job from Branford to East Lyme, we kept seeing the same problem. Homeowners who had invested in a proper gutter system were still dealing with water issues because the drainage below the gutters was not handled correctly. Downspouts discharging against the foundation. Yards graded toward the house instead of away from it. Standing water pooling on lawns in Madison, saturating soil along the shoreline neighborhoods of Westbrook, and collecting against foundations in the older homes throughout Essex and Guilford. The gutter system was doing its job perfectly. The last step of the water management chain was broken.

We also saw the same gap in drainage that we had originally seen in gutters. Homeowners were hiring landscapers and general contractors to solve technical drainage problems that require specialized knowledge. French drains installed at the wrong slope. Drainage stone placed without the correct filter fabric. Regrading that moved the water problem from one spot on the property to another. These were not bad contractors. They were contractors doing work outside their area of expertise.

Drainage Pro of CT exists to fill that gap. We are a dedicated drainage company that brings the same focused expertise to water management on your property that CT GutterPro has brought to water management on the roofline for nearly four decades. If you have been searching for drainage services near you or drainage contractors near you on the Connecticut Shoreline, this is the company that was built specifically for that need.

What Makes Drainage Pro of CT Different from Other Contractors on the CT Shoreline

Most drainage work on the Connecticut Shoreline gets done by companies for whom drainage is one item on a long list of services. Landscapers, general contractors, and exterior remodelers all take on drainage jobs, but none of them built their company around it. We did. That difference shows up in every assessment we do, every system we design, and every installation we complete.

We Work Outside, Where the Problem Starts

Every service we offer is focused on water that is on your property, moving across it, pooling in it, or pushing against it from the outside. We do not work inside buildings. We do not install interior drain tile systems or interior sump pits. We solve drainage problems on the exterior, which is where they actually begin. Whether it is a French drain installation in a Killingworth backyard, a gutter downspout drainage extension routing water away from a Clinton foundation, or a full exterior foundation waterproofing system on a historic home in Essex, the work we do is always outside and always focused on getting water off your property.

We Diagnose Before We Dig

Most drainage problems on the CT Shoreline get fixed the wrong way because no one took the time to understand them first. We walk every property before we recommend anything. We trace where the water is coming from, how it moves across your land, and why it is ending up where it should not. That diagnosis is what determines the right solution, and it is why the drainage systems we install work the first time.

We Are Honest About What You Need

In many cases, the fix is simpler than a homeowner expects. If routing your downspouts underground and away from your foundation solves the problem, we will tell you that even though a full drainage system installation would pay us more. We have built more than four decades of reputation in this region by putting the right solution ahead of the more profitable one. That approach is how we earn referrals and repeat calls from homeowners across all 13 towns we serve, from the waterfront properties of Old Lyme to the residential neighborhoods of North Branford.

We Restore Your Property When the Work Is Done

Drainage work involves digging. Trenches, excavation, and grading all disturb the ground and the landscaping around it. When we finish an installation, we put your property back the way we found it or better. Grading is restored, topsoil is replaced, and seed or sod is applied where needed. We do not leave a job site looking like a drainage company was there. We leave it looking like the problem was solved.

Licensed, Insured, and Based on the CT Shoreline

Drainage Pro of CT is a DBA of CT GutterPro LLC, registered with the State of Connecticut under HIC#0654716. We carry full general liability and workers compensation coverage on every job we take, so you are protected from the first day we are on your property to the last.

Every drainage system installation we complete is backed by our 5-year workmanship warranty on the mechanical flow and function of the system. That warranty is our commitment that the solution we built for your property will perform the way we designed it to perform, long after we have packed up and moved on to the next job.

We are based in Clinton and serve 13 towns across the Connecticut Shoreline spanning Middlesex, New Haven, and New London counties. We are never more than 20 minutes from any property in our service area, and we are the only contractor in this region whose entire focus is exterior drainage. When you call us, you are calling the drainage specialists for this part of Connecticut.
