Myrtle Beach Water Drainage & Erosion Control

Protect Your Foundation. Preserve Your Investment.

At Universal Designs, we know that water is the greatest threat to your property’s longevity. In Horry County, our heavy seasonal rains and unique coastal geography demand more than just “moving dirt”—they require engineered solutions.

Whether the issue is stormwater runoff from impervious roofs, poor lot grading, or a high groundwater table, standing water can lead to costly foundation damage and ruined landscapes. We don’t just hide the water; we manage it.
