Dry wells are an effective solution for managing excess rainwater and downspout runoff on properties throughout Kankakee County. By directing water underground and allowing it to slowly absorb into the soil, dry wells help prevent yard flooding, foundation issues, and surface water buildup, especially during Illinois’ heavy rain and seasonal storms.

Bana Landscaping provides professional dry well installation services designed to manage stormwater safely, efficiently, and in compliance with local conditions.

Why Dry Wells Are Important in Kankakee County

Properties in Kankakee County often experience:

• Heavy rainfall and storm runoff
• Clay-heavy soils that slow drainage
• Water pooling near foundations
• Overloaded surface drainage systems

Dry wells reduce these problems by capturing runoff at the source and dispersing it underground, keeping water away from structures and landscaped areas.

Our Dry Well Installation Services

Complete Dry Well Installation

We design and install dry wells to manage water from:

• Roof downspouts
• Sump pump discharge
• Hardscape runoff (patios, walkways, driveways)

Each system is sized and positioned based on your property’s drainage needs, soil conditions, and water volume.

Our Dry Well Installation Process

Site Evaluation & Soil Assessment

Every project begins with an evaluation of:

• Soil permeability and drainage capacity
• Water collection points and runoff volume
• Setback requirements from foundations and property lines

This ensures the dry well functions effectively and safely.

Excavation & Chamber Installation

We excavate to the proper depth and install subsurface chambers or stone-filled basins designed to hold and slowly release collected water into surrounding soil.

Filter Fabric & Aggregate Integration

Filter fabric and aggregate are installed to prevent soil intrusion, reduce clogging, and extend the lifespan of the system while maintaining effective infiltration.

Overflow Planning & Final Restoration

Where necessary, overflow pathways are incorporated to handle heavy rainfall events. After installation, the area is restored so the dry well remains completely hidden below the surface.
