914 Yard Drainage & French Drains in Larchmont & Mamaroneck, NY
Larchmont and Mamaroneck are old and flood-conscious: the typical Larchmont home was built around 1940 (90% before 1980) and the typical Mamaroneck village home around 1953. Mamaroneck publishes its own flood-preparedness handbook. Larger Westchester properties often have slopes, ledge, retaining walls and mature landscaping, which affect how and where water can be moved. Ask a drainage contractor where the water will go, whether any neighboring property or municipal system is involved, and whether a permit is required for the work.

Does Larchmont & Mamaroneck require a permit for this work?
Often yes. See the permit notes on this page, then call the Larchmont & Mamaroneck building department before you sign a contract.
Do I need a French drain or just better grading?
If water pools near the foundation after rain, regrading and downspout extensions are the cheapest first step. A French drain helps where grading alone cannot move the water.
Where should downspouts discharge?
Well away from the foundation, onto ground that slopes away, or into a buried line that outlets downhill. Water dumped next to the house can soak back to the footing.
