Since 1921, Martin Drainage has provided farm drainage service and solutions to the Ontario agriculture industry.
Located just outside of Wallenstein, Martin Drainage is proud to be a full-service drainage contractor, having provided more than 90 years of combined experience through its licensed operators.
The success of Martin Drainage lies in the fact that proper farm drainage improves crop yields by making sure crops get the right amount of moisture throughout the growing season.
When spring rains saturate soil, a good drainage system will drain excess moisture away. When this is done, crops develop deep root systems that will sustain them through the drier summer months and ultimately increase yields. Of course, with a deeper root system, fertilizers will also be more effective.
The team at Martin Drainage encourages farmers to consider the marked advantages that carefully-completed farm drainage offers as a return on investment.
They point out that farm drainage reduces cropping costs by ensuring the best yields for an investment. It eliminates a field’s “wet spots” that cannot be planted in the spring and allows for full use of the land. It also helps to minimize the risk of soil compaction.
Martin Drainage also points out that, in addition, farm drainage costs are 100 per cent tax deductible.
Farm drainage can make the entire difference in whether a farm re-sells above or below what is considered current market value.
If owners view farmland as an investment, they should be sure to consider how farm drainage can extend that investment.
Martin Drainage does more than bury pipe; it provides drainage solutions using state -of-the-art technology. Using GPS layout and design, not only does this make accurate, precise installations possible, it also keeps costs lower and the installation more efficient, as well as reducing the time it takes to complete the job.
The Martin Drainage team includes five A-license operators, with over 90 years of combined drainage experience.
This ensures that drainage jobs are planned and installed by an experienced, competent drainage team.
Team members at Martin Drainage endeavour to go the extra mile with their clients. When designing projects, they do their best to be responsive to clients’ custom needs and circumstances, all the while incorporating what years of experience has taught them.
When the job is complete they even “disc” the newly-drained fields to ensure clients are left with a field surface they can work with.
Martin Drainage stands behind all completed installations and offers clients the assurance that they will fix any errors in the event they have occurred.
Beyond all of that, even if a competitor handled an owner’s farm drainage installation in the past, Martin Drainage offers complete maintenance to all drainage systems (it can also use its equipment to provide other services, such as excavation work or custom float services).
So regardless of the drainage requirements, contact Martin Drainage – they will be glad to work out a solution.
