Hold the Downspout Water Underground
A Houston downpour turns a gutter into a hose. That water blows mulch out and sits against the foundation. Axe Lawn Services installs dry wells in Houston to catch that concentrated flow and hold it underground while it seeps out.
The company is firefighter-owned. Houston clay does not absorb quickly. A dry well only goes where the site can take the water. Where it cannot, the well gets an overflow, or the job is a French drain that moves the water instead of asking the clay to drink it.
How It Is Built
- Collection: Water from a downspout, or from a catch basin, is piped into the well.
- Storage: A perforated basin in drainage rock fills with the rush.
- Seep: The stored water leaves the rock into the surrounding soil over time. It does not all disappear during the storm.
The basin is buried. What stays visible is a flush grate, or the pipe from the gutter. Sod or soil covers the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dry Wells
What is the difference between a dry well and a French drain?
A French drain is a trench that collects water and moves it. A dry well is a deep basin that holds water in one spot and lets it seep into the ground.
Will I see the dry well in my yard?
The basin and the rock are covered with soil and sod. What you see is a small flush grate, or the pipe that ties it to the gutter.
