Detention & Retention Pond Repair in Houston, TX

Detention pond repair means pumping out existing water as needed, removing the dirt, sediment, mud, vegetation, and debris that has built up, and rough grading the disturbed area so water flows toward the outfall again. On a rehab or reconstruction, we excavate and grade the pond within the limits and elevations shown on the approved plans, and reshape the bottom, banks, slopes, forebay, and flow lines.

We do slope and bank repair on detention and retention ponds: regrading eroded slopes to the proper angle, clearing and regrading the pond bottom so it drains correctly, and installing back-slope interceptors that route water into pipes leading to the pond bottom instead of running over the slope face and eroding it further.

We provide ongoing detention and retention pond maintenance, including annual maintenance support and vegetation removal — mowing, cutting, uprooting, or removing vegetation from the pond, bank, shoreline, or work area — so the pond keeps draining the way it was designed to instead of silting or overgrowing between problems.

Yes. We excavate and grade the pond within the limits and elevations shown on the approved civil plans, then shape the bottom, banks, slopes, forebay, and flow lines to match. We build to the plans and elevations provided; if a project needs the engineering itself, that is coordinated separately before we start moving dirt.

Yes, we handle outfall and inlet repair, forebay cleaning, pilot channel cleaning and construction, and emergency overflow repair. What gets repaired and how depends on what is actually damaged and how the structure was originally built.

Detention and retention pond work is priced per project. Surface area and depth, how much sediment or vegetation has to come out, whether the pond needs to be pumped out first, and whether any structures like an outfall or inlet need repair all move the number. We look at the pond and put a firm number in writing at no charge.

We do detention and retention pond construction, repair, and maintenance across the Greater Houston area, including Houston and Katy, covering Harris, Montgomery, Waller, Washington, and Fort Bend counties.
