Standing water in your yard, a wet basement, or a drainage problem that's damaging your property? NEC Solutions LLC diagnoses the actual cause and designs a real engineering solution — not a quick patch — for homeowners and property owners across PA, NY, DE, and TX.
Civil engineering covers the design of systems that work with the land — drainage, grading, site layout, soils, and infrastructure. At NEC Solutions LLC, our civil engineering services are focused on the practical needs of homeowners, contractors, developers, and municipalities in Pennsylvania, New York, Delaware, and Texas.
We don't just prepare drawings — we solve real problems. When your site needs a stormwater management plan for a land development approval, we design a system that works within the site constraints and satisfies the municipal engineer. When you need soil testing for a new septic system, we coordinate the perc test, evaluate the results, and deliver the documentation the health department requires. When a proposed grading plan needs drainage analysis, we run the hydrology and make sure the numbers work.
Our civil engineering team works closely with our structural engineers, which means we can handle projects that span both disciplines — a combination that saves our clients time and coordination headaches. Whether your project is a single-family home site, a commercial development, or an industrial facility, we bring the same focused, practical approach to every civil engineering scope.

Properly sized French drains, curtain drains, and perimeter drain systems that intercept and redirect subsurface water before it reaches your foundation or yard.
Dry wells and underground infiltration systems that capture roof and surface runoff and let it soak into the ground on-site — sized to your soil's actual infiltration rate.
Regrading plans that re-establish proper slope away from your foundation and toward an appropriate discharge point — often the most effective and lowest-cost fix for surface water problems.
Engineering evaluation and drainage design specifically targeting basement water intrusion — often solved from the outside without disturbing the interior finished space.
Written engineering reports documenting drainage conditions and causes — useful for neighbor disputes, insurance claims, and municipal complaints involving water runoff between properties.
Standing water in the yard, a wet basement, or erosion problems that need a real engineered fix, not another quick patch.
Drainage problems affecting parking lots, landscaping, or building foundations across commercial and multi-family properties.
Engineered drainage drawings and specifications for contractors implementing drainage solutions on client properties.
PE-stamped drainage reports for property disputes, insurance claims, and pre-purchase due diligence.
A downspout extension, a bag of gravel, or a section of flex pipe pointed downhill can look like a fix — for a season. But without understanding where the water is actually coming from and how much volume is involved, these measures usually just relocate the problem or fail outright during the next heavy rain.
At NEC Solutions LLC, we design drainage solutions based on an actual evaluation of your site — not guesswork. That means correctly sized pipe, properly located discharge points, and a design that accounts for the real volume of water your property generates during a design storm.

For many home additions in PA, the main requirement is a structural engineer for the PE-stamped structural drawings. However, if your addition adds impervious coverage (a roof, slab, or paved area) beyond a certain threshold, your municipality may require a stormwater management plan from a civil engineer as part of the permit application. We can handle both structural and civil components, which simplifies the process considerably.
Municipal review timelines for stormwater management plans in Pennsylvania vary by township and project size. Smaller residential projects reviewed by the township typically take 4–8 weeks. Larger land development projects subject to county review or PA DEP review can take longer. We prepare the plan to address all anticipated review comments on the first submission — which is the most effective way to minimize overall approval time.
A percolation test (perc test) measures how quickly water drains through the soil on your property. If you're installing a new septic system in Pennsylvania — for a new home, an addition of a bedroom, or any project that increases sewage flow — you'll need a perc test and soil evaluation as part of the sewage permit process. The test is performed on your site with the township sewage enforcement officer present. We coordinate and support this process for clients in Chester County and throughout eastern PA.
Yes. For new construction projects where the soil bearing capacity is unknown, or for sites with fill, disturbed soils, or a history of problems, a geotechnical investigation provides the soil data needed to design an appropriate foundation. We coordinate soil boring programs, evaluate the results, and prepare a geotechnical report with foundation design recommendations. This is especially valuable for commercial projects and any site with unusual soil conditions.
Yes — we regularly support developers and builders on residential subdivisions, commercial land development projects, and mixed-use developments. We can serve as the civil PE of record for land development plan submissions or provide specific civil components (stormwater management, grading plans, geotechnical reports) as part of a larger design team. Contact us to discuss the scope and how we can best support your project.
Yes — and this is one of the real advantages of working with NEC Solutions LLC. Many projects need both structural engineering (building design, PE-stamped drawings) and civil engineering (grading, drainage, geotechnical). Having one firm handle both disciplines eliminates coordination issues between consultants, simplifies communication for the client, and often reduces overall project cost and timeline.
