Systems
Drainage installation for compounds, homes, estates, and renovation sites
BuildMyHouse helps homeowners, landlords, builders, and Nigerians abroad install drainage systems with clearer site inspection, proper slope understanding, contractor matching, quote or BOQ review, staged execution, and evidence-backed updates. A good drainage system must consider where water comes from, where it gathers, where it exits, and how it affects the building foundation, compound floor, walls, soakaway, and surrounding property. In Lagos, drainage planning must pay attention to rainfall, road level versus compound level, neighbor runoff, blocked public gutters, roof water discharge, perimeter drains, stormwater channels, PVC pipe drainage, concrete gutters, soil behavior, and whether the site needs drainage correction before German floor or paving work begins.

How do I start a drainage system installation job on BuildMyHouse?
Tap "Start a Tracked Repair", upload photos or videos of the water problem, show the compound, road level, roof discharge points, and existing gutters, then BuildMyHouse will help scope the drainage issue before matching verified support.
Is drainage installation just digging a gutter?
No. Proper drainage is surface water management. The contractor must understand where water comes from, where it gathers, where it should exit, and how it affects the foundation, compound floor, soakaway, walls, and neighboring properties.
Should I install drainage before German floor or paving?
Yes. Drainage should be planned before German floor, interlocking, paving, or major compound finishing. If water movement is ignored first, the finished floor may trap water and create flooding, dampness, erosion, or foundation problems.
