Anyone who lives in Southern California knows that rain rarely falls. When it does, it creates drainage problems for many property owners whose homes lack an adequate drainage system in their yard or crawl space.
Here’s why: most homes here are flat. These homes, specifically those without property drainage systems, will often see water pooling in the backyard. The backyard is usually set at a point lower than the front yard, so water will find its way there, unable to penetrate past the surface of the adobe soil. The bountiful rest of the water finds its way to the street and runs off into the ocean. Good fresh water is wasted every time a lawn is watered and when rainfall slips out of retention.
When there is little to poor home site storm water management systems installed, runoff water, whether it being from rainfall or irrigation, flows into the ocean or sits on your property. This can cause unnecessary damage, particularly to concrete structures such as the footing and foundation of your home, as well as the retaining walls in your yard.
Water that sits on top of adobe soil may cause that soil to shrink and expand with Southern California’s relentless shift between wet and dry seasons. This tends to be one common reason for home settlement, shifting, and cracking of walls. Floors can also become unleveled, warping the hardwood floor finishing throughout your house.

They share the same semi-arid desert climate.
The North African plain has never been famous for its homes with lush green grass, beautiful palm trees, swimming pools, golf courses and the tropical flora and fauna that rely on heavy rainfall.
Southern California is left dry because it is bound by extreme desert to the East and by the Pacific Ocean to the West, while dried-out lakebeds play a huge role in the depletion of our water conservation economy.
By the time water is delivered to us from the melting Sierra Nevada snowcaps through the stretches of tunnels constructed upon mountains too steep for man to climb, Southern California has already snowballed into trouble.
Without native landscape solutions, many residents are in fear of drought and in order to conserve the water supply, we hope for the right storms to come at the right time.
The Flo-Well Storm Water Leaching System is a groundwater dry well drainage system, designed to transfer the water from the surface of your soil to the subsoil. It behaves like an industrial aqueduct but for homes of any size. It’s small, easy to install, clean to use, and super affordable. It restricts rainfall runoff from flowing into the ocean and retains it below the ground’s surface. This raises the subsurface water table and helps to prevent dry Los Angeles summers.
Weinstein Retrofitting Systems custom designs each and every installation using NDS Pro’s Flo-Well Dry Well Storm Water Leaching System.
The way it works: water is retained first inside the underground custom-built, multilayer chamber. (Single-layer options are also available depending upon the needs of the property and severity of water runoff flow). In addition to protecting your home from water damage, it uses the water retained within the chambers to irrigate your lawn when you attach a garden hose, cutting down on bills for homeowners!
If you have ponds or waterfalls at your home, then this can act as a reservoir for the recirculation pumps. It’s good for areas that puddle easily and this includes vast golf courses common in Los Angeles and throughout Southern California.
Flo-Well makes this costly Southern California lifestyle more viable, fun and environmentally smart!
