What drainage problems can you help with?

We handle a wide range of drainage issues for residential and commercial properties. That includes standing water in the yard, soggy areas that never seem to dry out, water collecting near the foundation, runoff washing out landscaping, downspout drainage problems, grading issues, and drainage corrections during excavation work. Our goal is to find the source of the water problem and provide a fix that protects your property for the long term.

How do I know if I need a professional drainage solution?

If you see puddles that last for days, water in the basement or crawl space, erosion around your home, muddy areas, or water flowing toward your foundation, it is time to call. Drainage issues usually get worse over time, not better. A proper inspection can help prevent damage to your home, septic area, driveway, landscaping, and other parts of your property.

What kinds of drainage solutions do you install?

That depends on the property and the cause of the problem. We may recommend grading, trenching, drain pipe installation, runoff control, downspout extensions, yard drains, or other site drainage improvements. Because Freeman Industries also provides plumbing, HVAC, and excavation services, we bring a broader view to the job and can spot related issues that another contractor might miss.

Will you just give me a quick fix, or solve the root problem?

We focus on the real cause of the issue. As a family-owned local company, we know trust matters. We do not believe in patchwork recommendations when a larger drainage problem is causing repeated damage. We take the time to explain what is happening, what needs to be done, and what will give you the best long-term value.

Can you handle drainage work for both homes and commercial properties?

Yes. We work with both residential and commercial customers across the Saratoga County area and surrounding communities, including Ballston Spa, Clifton Park, Saratoga Springs, Burnt Hills, Malta, Stillwater, and Lake George. Whether you are dealing with backyard flooding at home or water control issues on a commercial site, we can help you plan the right solution.

Our co-founder Andrew O’Mara brings years of heavy equipment experience and a background in law enforcement, which shaped the honest, straightforward way we do business.

Drainage Solutions & Yard Water Control

At Freeman Industries, we provide drainage solutions that help protect your home, business, yard, and foundation from water damage. If you have standing water, soggy areas, erosion, runoff problems, or water collecting near your building, we can find the cause and build a long-term fix. Our goal is simple: move water away from the places it should not be, and help keep your property safe, usable, and easier to maintain.

Drainage problems rarely stay small for long. Poor grading, clogged or undersized drainage lines, roof runoff, and improper water flow can lead to foundation issues, damaged landscaping, flooded basements or crawl spaces, icy walkways, and muddy areas that never seem to dry out. We take a practical approach to stormwater control and site drainage, focusing on solutions that make sense for your property, your budget, and the way the land naturally drains.

What our drainage solutions include

We handle a wide range of residential and commercial drainage work, including surface water management, runoff control, yard drainage, foundation drainage, trenching, grading, and underground piping. Depending on the problem, we may recommend catch basins, channel drains, French drains, curtain drains, downspout drainage extensions, dry wells, sump discharge lines, swales, or regrading to improve water flow. Because Freeman Industries also provides plumbing, HVAC, and excavation services, we bring a broader understanding of how underground systems and site conditions work together.

Our process

Every drainage job starts with a close look at the property. We identify where the water is coming from, where it is getting trapped, and where it needs to go. We look at slope, soil conditions, low spots, roof drainage, hardscape runoff, and any existing drainage systems that may be failing or overwhelmed. From there, we explain the problem in clear terms and recommend a solution designed for long-term performance, not just a quick patch.

Once the plan is set, we complete the excavation, grading, trenching, pipe installation, and water management work needed to correct the issue. We aim to work efficiently and keep disruption to your property as limited as possible while still doing the job the right way. Good drainage work depends on proper pitch, solid materials, careful installation, and attention to detail. That is where experience matters.

Why property owners trust Freeman Industries

We are a family-owned company serving Saratoga County and surrounding areas, including Albany, Ballston Spa, Burnt Hills, Charlton, Clifton Park, Galway, Greenfield, Greenwich, Corinth, Colonie, Lake George, and nearby communities. Our company is built on trust, strong communication, and honest recommendations. As a locally owned business led by experienced hands-on operators, we understand how important it is to show up, explain the work clearly, and deliver results that last.

Our team brings real field experience to every job. Freeman Industries was founded by lifelong friends Andrew O'Mara and J.P. Sala. Andrew leads our excavation division and brings years of heavy equipment experience along with the integrity and discipline shaped by his background in law enforcement. J.P. leads our plumbing, heating, and cooling division and has been a licensed Master Plumber since 2014, with more than a decade of hands-on experience. That combination of excavation knowledge and plumbing system expertise is especially valuable when solving drainage issues that involve underground piping, runoff control, or water moving too close to a structure.

Residential and commercial drainage services

We work with both homeowners and commercial property owners. For homes, drainage improvements can help protect foundations, basements, crawl spaces, garages, yards, patios, and landscaped areas. For commercial properties, proper drainage can reduce liability, improve site safety, limit erosion, protect paved surfaces, and help keep the property accessible and professional-looking during wet weather. No matter the size of the project, we focus on reliable workmanship and practical solutions.

Built for long-term performance

A drainage fix should do more than move water for one season. It should hold up over time and continue working through heavy rain, snowmelt, and changing ground conditions. We choose methods and layouts based on the property itself, not a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether the right answer is better grading, a new drainage line, a collection system, or a full runoff management plan, we build solutions meant to perform.

If you are dealing with wet areas, runoff problems, or water collecting where it should not, Freeman Industries is ready to help. We will assess the issue, explain your options, and provide a drainage solution that protects your property and gives you peace of mind. Call us at (518) 245-6658 to discuss your project or book service.

We keep drainage projects clear, organized, and built to last. From the first call to final grading and runoff testing, we focus on honest advice, strong communication, and reliable workmanship that protects your property.

On-Site Drainage Evaluation

When you call Freeman Industries, we schedule an on-site visit to inspect standing water, slope, downspout discharge, soil conditions, and drainage trouble spots. We identify the root cause, explain your options clearly, and provide a practical plan with timeline and pricing.

Custom Drainage Plan & Prep

Next, we design the right solution for your property, whether that means swales, French drains, catch basins, drainage pipe, grading, or runoff control. We mark utilities, coordinate excavation needs, and set a realistic schedule so the work moves smoothly with minimal disruption.

Installation, Testing & Walkthrough

Our team completes the drainage installation with careful excavation, proper pitch, solid materials, and clean finish work to help prevent future water issues. Before we wrap up, we test flow, review the results with you, and make sure you know exactly how the system will perform.
