Get Water Away From The Building
Water is one of the fiercest adversaries for anyone trying to keep a safe, healthy, and comfortable home. Ineffective stormwater management can wreak havoc in nearly every area of your house, and the problem has become so widespread that this is now DocAir's most requested service.
"Keep water away from building foundations."
Many stormwater contractors fail to stick to that approach. Through a better understanding of how moisture affects a building and how stormwater infiltrates its vulnerable areas, DocAir resolves your stormwater issues right, the first time.

Our Approach to Stormwater Remediation
During heavy rainfall, water falls from the roof and surrounding properties, soaks into the soil near your foundation, and eventually intrudes into the crawl space or basement, eroding the bearing soils that support the building. Instead of propping up your foundation on more soil, we eliminate the water problem at the source. Here is what our stormwater management services include:
DocAir Down Spots™
Installed for every downspout and connected to an underground piping system that extends to catch basins or to custom percolators where a storm sewer isn't accessible.
Sealing Intrusion Points
We seal stormwater intrusion points beside the building with compacted soil and clay, creating a water-resistant barrier and a positive gradient away from the foundation.
Recessed Catch Basins
Installed where water naturally pools and connected to percolators with four-inch PVC piping run underground to carry water safely away.
Decorative Retaining Walls
Designed and installed to divert water away from the structure, along with other water-diversion devices that protect your foundation.
Emergency Sump Pumps
Installed when required to actively remove water and keep the lowest levels of your home dry during heavy storm events.
Crawlspace Waterproofing
Where needed, we add crawlspace waterproofing as an extra layer of moisture protection beyond the drainage system itself.
Whole-House Flood Damage Restoration
While stormwater and flooding often affect the lowest levels of the home, there are other systems within the home that can exacerbate the problems that arise from too much moisture.
We chose the name DocAir for a reason, we want to treat the entire "body" of your home, not just the most egregious symptoms. That means looking beyond the wet basement to the systems that can carry that moisture everywhere else.
HVAC & Ductwork Testing
We test your HVAC system and ductwork for leaks and efficiency, so it isn't spreading the moisture of a wet basement throughout the rest of your home.
Wall Cleanliness & Dryness
We inspect the walls for cleanliness and dryness before any drywall is replaced, so moisture isn't sealed back inside the structure.

Stormwater Management Questions, Answered
How does stormwater actually damage my home?
During heavy rain, water from the roof and surrounding properties soaks into the soil near your foundation. It intrudes into the crawl space or basement and erodes the bearing soils that support the building.
What is DocAir's approach to fixing it?
Our science-first principle is simple: keep water away from building foundations. Rather than propping up your foundation on more soil, we eliminate the water problem with a practical, less-expensive solution.
What does the work actually involve?
Depending on your property, we install DocAir Down Spots, catch basins and percolators, retaining walls, sealed intrusion points, sump pumps, and crawlspace waterproofing, each matched to how water moves around your home.
Do you treat the whole house or just the basement?
The whole house. We chose the name DocAir because we treat the entire "body" of your home. We test your HVAC and ductwork for leaks so it isn't spreading basement moisture, and inspect walls for dryness before any drywall is replaced.
