Drainage system pricing
Gutter Pro is one of few NDS Certified Professional Drainage Contractors in Northeast Florida. The pricing below reflects properly designed and installed drainage systems, not surface-level fixes.

|---|---|---|
| French drain installation | $2,500-$7,500+ | Foundation seepage, chronic groundwater. Trenching at $22/ft plus discharge. |
| Channel drain (driveway, patio, pool deck) | $80-$150 per foot | Surface water at hardscape edges. Typical 10-14 ft driveway run: $1,200-$2,400. |
| Dry well (NDS Flo-Well or equivalent) | $600-$1,800 | Soakaway pit for downspout water on tight lots. 50 or 100 gallon. |
| Custom dry well system | $1,500-$4,000+ | Larger systems for high-volume sites. |
| Standalone yard sump pump | $1,800-$3,500 | Low-lying or marsh-edge yards where gravity drainage is not possible. |
| Crawl-space sump pump | $2,500-$4,500 | Interior basin with sealed cover and exterior discharge. |
| Integrated stormwater sump system | $3,000-$7,000+ | French drain combined with sump pump and dedicated discharge line. |
| Battery backup add-on | $400-$700 | Recommended for any sump pump in Florida (storm power outages). |
Materials specification
All Gutter Pro drainage installations use one of two pipe types:
- Schedule 40 PVC — rigid, glued joints, pressure-rated. Standard for foundation discharge, sump discharge lines, and channel-drain ties.
- Virgin HDPE — first-use high-density polyethylene. Used for long underground extensions where flexibility around obstacles matters.
We never install recycled corrugated drainage pipe. Big-box-store corrugated tubing collapses under foot traffic and lawn equipment, silts up internally because of its ridges, and is rooted through within a few seasons by oak and pine. Many drainage installs that "stop working" within 2-3 years were built with corrugated. Gutter Pro uses only Schedule 40 PVC or virgin HDPE so your drainage system lasts 20+ years.

Florida rainfall and gutter sizing context
Florida's rainfall intensity is what drives the recommendation for 6-inch and 7-inch gutters rather than the 5-inch standard used in lower-rainfall regions. Annual rainfall data by Florida region:
- Jacksonville / Northeast Florida: 53 inches per year, peak intensity 9 in/hr, wettest Aug-Sep
- St. Augustine / Coast: 54 inches, 9 in/hr peak
- Orlando / Central FL: 52 inches, 9 in/hr peak
- Tampa Bay: 51 inches, 9 in/hr peak
- Miami / Southeast FL: 62 inches, 10 in/hr peak (7-inch recommended)
- Tallahassee / Panhandle: 60 inches, 9 in/hr peak
The NRCA formula for gutter sizing combines roof square footage, roof pitch, and local rainfall intensity (5-minute peak). A 2,000 sq ft Jacksonville roof at standard 5/12 pitch under 9 in/hr peak rainfall produces approximately 12 GPM of runoff, which exceeds the 11 GPM capacity of 5-inch K-style and confirms 6-inch as the correct minimum for Florida.
