Questions

Asked before every project.

Do you work on commercial and residential properties?+

Yes. Shaw's works on residential and commercial properties, with drainage solutions, retaining walls, hardscape and outdoor improvements.

What should I include in a drainage inquiry?+

Include the property location, where water collects, when it happens and any existing drains or previous work. Photos taken during or after rain can help explain the situation; email them separately to constructionshaw@gmail.com and include your name.

Which drainage solution does my property need?+

That depends on the grade, soil, source of water and a suitable discharge location. Surface drains, French drains and grading solve different problems. Discuss the site before choosing a system.

Can drainage be considered with a new patio or retaining wall?+
