Drywells are a critical component of stormwater management in Arizona when installed with a clear understanding of local conditions.
Drywell Installation
Our drywell systems capture stormwater at the source and return it to the ground, supporting natural filtration and groundwater recharge.
Excavation and installation of subsurface drywell systems and oil stops when needed.
Integration with roof drainage and surface collection points
Gravel backfill and structural configuration for optimal infiltration
Field adjustments based on encountered soil conditions
Why Local Knowledge Matters
Stormwater behavior in Arizona is shaped by soil composition and structure:
Caliche (hardpan) layers can significantly restrict vertical infiltration
Compacted desert soils often produce high runoff with limited surface absorption
Alluvial soils may allow deeper percolation depending on gradation and saturation
A drywell system must be designed with these variables in mind to ensure long-term function.
From Runoff to Subsurface Flow
In Arizona, water is too valuable to lose.
Drywells provide a controlled method to:
Capture and temporarily store runoff
Promote gradual infiltration into surrounding soils
Reduce surface flow impacts and localized ponding
This process supports groundwater recharge and localized water retention
