Lots, slopes and soil: how Gladeville 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.
Shallow limestone sets the depth of every trench and sometimes the route; the crew brings the equipment for rock or prices the alternative.
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.
