Lots, slopes and soil: how College Grove 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.
Large lots are graded and drained as a site — swales, culverts, a pond where it makes sense — and the machine work is priced by the hour with a plan.
Drainage on a septic property is routed clear of the field, because a drain that saturates the field is a septic failure; the design knows where the field is.
Where the builder’s drainage was never finished, three lots’ water often crosses one yard; the design collects it and carries it to a discharge that the neighbors and the city accept.

Water problems we fix in College Grove
Middle Tennessee clay drains slowly and holds water at the surface, which is why so many Nashville gardens have a soggy patch that persists for days after everyone else has dried out.
- Crawl space or basement taking water
- A soggy patch that never dries
- Mulch or soil washing across a path
- Downspouts discharging at the foundation
A drain with no outlet. Pipe that runs to a buried stone pit with nowhere to go simply fills and stops working. Every system needs somewhere for the water to end up.
