Typical Triangle-area range:
$500 – $1,500
Surface / yard drain · 50 linear feet
Per linear foot, installed. Depth, access for machinery, and where the water has to go (daylight vs. a dry well) drive the price. Grading the yard away from the house often comes first.

These are local problems with local prices
Crawlspaces, radon, septic, wells and yard drainage all trace back to the same Piedmont clay and humidity. National cost averages are close to useless here.
How this is worked out
No hidden fudge factor. This is the whole calculation.
- Pick a drainage type, which sets the low and high end of the typical range.
- Your drain run multiplies that per-linear foot range to give the spread you see.
- Both ends are typical Triangle installed costs gathered from published industry ranges. They are not quotes, and no number here comes from our own bookings.
