Poor drainage is one of the most common — and most damaging — issues property owners face. When water isn’t directed away properly, it can lead to standing water, soil erosion, damaged landscaping, foundation concerns, and ongoing maintenance problems. As an NDS-certified drainage contractor, Gamble Property Services provides professional drainage solutions designed to manage water correctly and protect your property long-term.
Our approach starts with understanding how water moves across your land, identifying problem areas, and determining why drainage issues are happening — not just treating the symptoms. In many cases, drainage issues are closely tied to improper grading, which is why we often assess both together to ensure water flows safely away from your property.
We work with residential and rural properties to correct drainage problems through proper grading adjustments, drainage system installation, and improved water flow management. When needed, drainage solutions can also be incorporated alongside retaining walls to manage elevation changes or stabilize sloped areas.
Based in Port Dover and serving the surrounding area, we understand the local conditions that affect drainage through heavy rain, snowmelt, and seasonal ground changes. Our goal is always long-term performance — not temporary fixes that fail over time.
Proper drainage plays a critical role in protecting the long-term health of your property. When water is allowed to collect or flow uncontrolled, it can weaken soil, damage landscaping, and place unnecessary stress on foundations and outdoor structures. Over time, these issues can impact usability, safety, and overall property value. Investing in professionally designed drainage solutions helps prevent costly repairs, improves water management, and ensures your land performs the way it should through every season.
Every property is different, which is why our drainage work follows a clear, step-by-step approach focused on long-term results.
We evaluate your property’s slope, soil conditions, and existing water flow, often reviewing how grading or retaining structures may be affecting drainage.
We recommend a practical drainage solution tailored to your property, with consideration for related services such as grading or retaining walls if required.
Using certified products and proven installation methods, we complete the work with proper preparation and attention to long-term performance.
The result is improved water management, better usability of your outdoor spaces, and reduced risk of future issues.
Hello We had a drainage issue with our patio. Mark came to our home to inspect and he explained our issue and how to correct. At the same time we got rid of our flagstones and got new design stones where no sand would stay on. He explained exactly what he would do and he did exactly what he said. He started on time and finished on time. He has a lot of equipment to save on manual work and in great shape. Anytime we had a question he would take the time to explain. Very meticulous. Mark and Jordan did a great job and were a pleasure to deal with. Thanks Yves Lebrun & Nicole Gleiser
Mark was wonderful at communicating with us. He was thorough and efficient getting the job done even though the weather sometimes didn’t cooperate. We have already booked him in for work in the future. Would definitely recommend him and his team for any of your property needs.
I have used this company for 6 years for a variety of different jobs; it seems the there isn’t anything that they can’t do. They do great work, can solve the strangest of problems that I’ve encountered and are priced fairly. I had recommended them to others, and already have them booked for more work myself.
Very happy with the service we received from Mark and his team. Creative design, great workmanship, along with some problem solving, created a new living space in our backyard.
Did a great job for me putting in pavers. Fair price awesome communication. Do not hesitate using there services.
Incredible work from start to finish. He built a 60 ft retaining wall, regraded our entire backyard, and laid sod - and the transformation is stunning. The quality of Mark’s work is top notch and the team was professional and efficient. I truly don’t think anyone could have done this job better. Highly recommended.
