Drainage Problems Solved in Johnson County
Southern Illinois gets significant rainfall and the clay-heavy soils don't drain quickly — which means drainage problems are common and can get serious fast. We've worked drainage issues throughout Johnson County: flooded basements, washed-out driveways, eroding streambanks, and saturated fields. We look at the whole water flow picture before we start digging so the fix actually solves the problem instead of moving it downstream.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer free erosion control estimates in Vienna, IL?
Yes — free on-site estimates for all erosion control and drainage projects in Vienna and Johnson County. We walk the site, identify the water source and path, and propose a solution. Call 618-417-7381.
How much does it cost to fix a yard drainage problem near Vienna, IL?
If the fix is purely grading — reshaping the ground to move water away from the problem area — you're looking at $1,200 to $1,500 for a typical day's work. If the yard needs a French drain with perforated pipe, fabric, and rock, figure $2,000 or more once materials are factored in. It's all site-specific, but those are real numbers for the kinds of drainage jobs we see regularly in Johnson County.
Can you fix a washed-out driveway culvert in Johnson County?
Yes. If the washout just needs cleanup and regrading and no materials, figure a $600 minimum to come out and address it. If the culvert itself needs replacement, go ahead and plan for $2,000 minimum — culverts, the material to bed them properly, and the labor to do it right add up fast. Call 618-417-7381 and describe what you're dealing with.
What does riprap installation cost for erosion control in Southern Illinois?
For a small hillside or channel lining job, figure a $600 minimum for equipment plus the cost of the rock itself. Larger jobs that need a full day of excavator time to place riprap run around $1,750 for the machine alone, plus material. Riprap pricing scales directly with linear footage and slope length — we can ballpark it better once we see the site. Call 618-417-7381.
How do I stop erosion on a slope or hillside in Southern Illinois?
Slope erosion is typically addressed with a combination of proper grading to slow water velocity, riprap or rock lining in concentrated flow areas, and seeding with erosion control blanket on disturbed ground. For roadside ditches, the road district — city, township, or county — is often responsible for the fix, so that's worth a call before you spend money. If it's on your property, we can regrade or install drainage solutions starting around $800 for smaller fixes. We assess each situation individually.
