Why Is My Driveway Separating From My Garage? Understanding the Causes
Noticing a gap where your driveway meets your garage can be unsettling, creating a nagging worry about your home’s integrity. It’s a common issue many
When rainwater has nowhere to go, it goes where it shouldn’t — pooling against your foundation, seeping into your basement, and quietly destroying your home’s structure.
Atlanta’s clay-heavy soil makes poor drainage especially common. Water doesn’t absorb. It sits, builds pressure, and pushes through. The right drainage system stops the damage before it starts.
Subsurface system that intercepts groundwater and redirects it away from your foundation. Ideal for persistent wet spots or soggy soil.
Installed around the base of your foundation to capture water before it builds hydrostatic pressure against your walls with drain mat and plastic on foundations walls.
For driveways, patios, and entry points where water pools on hard surfaces. Keeps water moving and prevents erosion.
Gutters can work against you if discharge is too close to the foundation. We extend, redirect, and regrade to send water where it belongs.
When water does get in, a properly installed sump pump removes it fast. We install, replace, and service sump pumps as part of a complete drainage plan.
→ We assess before we sell. Every job starts with a free inspection. We find the real problem — not the most profitable one.
→ We install it right the first time. Licensed, bonded, and insured. Our drainage systems are backed by warranties because we stand behind our work.
→ We don’t leave until you’re satisfied. That’s not a slogan — it’s how we’ve built our reputation across Atlanta, Norcross, and surrounding counties.

EXCELLENT Based on 494 reviews Posted on Anthony LawrenceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Christian with CGS was probably the most impressive inspector I've met in many years. He may be young, but he knows his stuff. Coming back to this on Christians request. We are now having CGS take care of our basement problem, and I'm honestly shocked by the process involved in their work. 10/10 companyPosted on Tricia GrantTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I received several quotes concerning my crawlspace and drainage issues. Joel provided a reasonable and practical solution. CGS pricing was less than the other companies. The work I received was excellent! I highly recommend CGS.Posted on Shannon ProvostTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The gentlemen who did our encapsulation and drainage project were super friendly, professional, and worked extremely hard to get everything done in a day and a half. Our crawl space looks amazing and clean, and even the acoustics have changed, which tells me they did a fantastic job sealing it all up. Luis was a great project manager, and I would definitely recommend these guys in a heartbeat! Thank you:)Posted on William GibsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I called CGS Waterproofing after I noticed a substantial water leak in my basement. I met Mr. Kitchens at my home. (he arrived early to meet me, to his credit) He couldn't have been more professional and thourough during my homes inspection. He walked me through every step of the process with obviously years of hands on experience guiding his observations and we negotiated a fair price for the work that needed being done. Considering I had 3 other quotes from different companies, this was the best option by far. Money well spent and peace of mind to go with it 👍 EDIT: wanted to edit this and mention that Christian has been amazing over the course of the last year. 10/10Posted on Pierre kaisinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
