French Drain & Yard Drainage in Deltona, FL
Standing water, soggy yards, and flooding that gets worse every storm in Deltona? LES designs and installs french drains and complete drainage systems built to move water before it becomes damage.
Why Deltona Yards Flood
Deltona is one of the most flood-prone cities in Volusia County — thousands of homes sit in low basins around its chain of small lakes, and recent hurricanes left entire neighborhoods underwater for days. If your lot holds water every storm season, getting drainage in before the heavy rain is the difference between a wet yard and a flooded house.
Much of Deltona was platted decades ago as large-lot residential with limited stormwater infrastructure, so a lot of properties depend entirely on surface grade and the local lakes to carry water away. When those lakes fill, the low lots flood. LES designs drainage that moves your water to a real outlet instead of waiting on an overwhelmed basin.
Trouble spots we get called to most: The neighborhoods around Lake Theresa, Lake Bethel, Lake Diana, and the low-lying lots off Providence and Howland Boulevards.
Signs You Need Drainage
Fix It Before the Next Deltona Storm
- Standing water that lingers a day or more after rain
- Soggy, spongy spots in the lawn that never dry out
- Water seeping into a garage, slab, or crawlspace
- Mulch and soil washing out of your beds every storm
- Water pooling against the foundation or driveway
- The same low spot flooding every single storm
What We Install
Complete Drainage, Not Just a Trench
French drains
Perforated pipe in a gravel-wrapped trench that intercepts water and carries it away from the structure.
Catch basins & area drains
Collection points that pull standing water off low spots, patios, and turf before it pools.
Yard regrading
Reshaping grade so water sheds toward drainage instead of sitting against the home.
Downspout drainage
Piping roof water away from the foundation instead of dumping it at the base of the wall.
Why LES, Not a Landscaper
A Certified Stormwater Contractor — Not a Guy With a Trencher
Most drainage in Central Florida is done by landscapers and irrigation crews as a side service. LES is a GI-BMP certified, inspector-led stormwater and environmental contractor that reads how water actually moves across a site for builders, developers, and municipalities — and brings that same discipline to your yard. We diagnose why the water sits and size the fix to your actual soils, water table, and grade, so it still works in the next real storm.

Deltona Drainage FAQ
Deltona floods so badly — is drainage even worth it?
For the record-breaking floods, nothing beats them entirely. But those are rare. The everyday problem in Deltona is storm-season standing water, saturated yards, and water pushing toward the slab — and a properly designed french drain and regrade solves that, which is most of what actually damages homes.
Why do so many Deltona lots hold water?
Much of Deltona was platted with minimal stormwater infrastructure and relies on surface flow to the local lakes. When those lakes fill in a storm, low lots have nowhere to drain. Subsurface drainage to a real outlet gives that water another way off the property.
