Lots, slopes and soil: how Coopertown 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.
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.
Rural properties have driveways that wash out, culverts that block and fields that flood, and the excavation work is at a scale where the machine and the operator are the service.
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.
The ground is the whole job — where the water sits, where it can go, what the trench will meet — and the design is made on the site in a rain if it can be.
