VALOR Development LLC provides grading and drainage services throughout Syracuse, NY and Central New York — residential yard grading, French drain installation, swale construction, catch basin systems, and new construction finish grading. Proper grading and drainage prevents foundation damage, basement flooding, and yard erosion — problems that cost far more to fix than to prevent.
Central New York gets an average of 40 inches of rain and over 120 inches of snow annually. That water has to go somewhere. If your property isn't graded correctly, it's going into your basement, pooling against your foundation, or washing out your yard. VALOR Development evaluates your property's drainage patterns, identifies problem areas, and installs solutions that move water away from structures and off your property.
French drains, curtain drains, swales, catch basins, dry wells — we install them all. For new construction, we handle rough grading after foundation work and finish grading before landscaping. For existing properties, we regrade yards, install drainage systems, and correct the water management issues that other contractors left behind. Every job uses proper filter fabric, drainage stone, and perforated pipe installed to the correct slope.
Billy Kittell personally oversees every grading and drainage project. He's been solving Central New York drainage problems with company-owned equipment since VALOR was founded. Every crew held to the same standard. Call (844) 535-0331 for a free assessment of your property's drainage.
