Drainage & Excavation for Gallatin homeowners
Gallatin pairs a real historic downtown with substantial recent growth, which puts nineteenth-century masonry and 2020 subdivision building in the same market.
The streets around the downtown square hold older masonry and frame housing where matching materials and correct mortar specification matter. Outside that, Gallatin has grown considerably since the mid-2000s with conventional subdivision building — brick and vinyl, crawl space and slab, and the same consistent-age component profile that growth produces.
That matters for drainage and excavation because the age and construction of a house decides most of what we find in it. Older Gallatin masonry needs a lime-based mortar rather than modern Portland. Repointing historic brick with hard mortar destroys the brick, and it is not reversible.

What brings us to Gallatin.
Our heavy summer storms deliver a great deal of water in a short time, so systems sized for average rainfall back up exactly when they matter most.
- Ground sloping toward the house
- Crawl space or basement taking water
- A soggy patch that never dries
- Mulch or soil washing across a path
Perforations facing up. Perforations go down, so the pipe fills from the bottom as the water table rises. Facing them up is a common and quietly ruinous mistake.
