Lots, slopes and soil: how Antioch drains
New subdivisions have the drainage problems of settled fill and unfinished grading — water against the foundation, a swale that never worked — and the repair is regrading and a drain to a real outlet.
In a fast-built town the drainage problems are settled fill and unfinished grading, and correcting them is the most common drainage job in the region.
HOA lots share drainage easements, and a change to the flow needs the association’s sign-off; the contractor asks before digging.
The house — its downspouts, its foundation type, its garage on the low side — sets where the water starts, and the design collects it there.
Near the river the water table rises and surface drains stop working when the ground is saturated; the design accounts for it and does not promise a dry yard in a flood.
