Foundation & Drainage Work for
Hot Springs' Hillside Homes
Hot Springs is built on hills — which means retaining walls, drainage and foundation movement come with the territory. S&V Renovations handles foundation repair, French drains, waterproofing, and full remodeling for homes throughout Garland County, from downtown to Lake Hamilton.
Why It's Different Here
Most Hot Springs lots are sloped, some steeply. Water runs downhill fast, and it collects right where a flat-lot contractor wouldn't think to grade for it. We build for the slope you actually have.
Services for Every Grade
From foundation and drainage work built for hillside lots to the remodeling and finish trades that follow — here's what we handle across Hot Springs.
Foundation Repair & House Leveling
Sloped lots move differently than flat ones. We diagnose and repair settling, cracked slabs and uneven floors caused by hillside soil movement and retaining wall pressure.
Foundation Construction
New footings and slabs poured for the grade you actually have — additions, garages and new structures engineered for sloped Garland County lots.
French Drain & Drainage Installation
Hot Springs gets over 54 inches of rain a year, and steep lots send it downhill fast. We install French drains, grading and waterproofing that keep runoff away from your foundation.
Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling
From a full gut remodel to a tile and fixture refresh, for everything from lakefront homes to the area’s older housing stock.
Painting & Drywall
Interior and exterior painting plus drywall hanging, finishing and repair — done with proper prep so it holds up to Hot Springs’ humidity.
Siding, Fencing, Decks & Flooring
Exterior upgrades built for sloped and lakeside properties — siding replacement, fencing, deck builds, and flooring or tile installation.
Why Hot Springs
Chooses S&V
Hillside foundations fail differently than flat-lot ones — usually water pressure and slope movement rather than simple settling. We built our process around exactly that.

Hot Springs' Hills Move Water Fast
Hot Springs averages more than 54 inches of rain a year, and most residential lots are sloped — some steeply. That runoff heads downhill fast after a storm, collecting against foundations at the low end of a grade and putting steady pressure on retaining walls. Neighborhoods near Lake Hamilton and local streams, like Lakeside, see this most acutely during heavy rain. A properly installed French drain and correct grading is usually the difference between a dry crawl space and a recurring repair bill.
