Lots, slopes and soil: how Hendersonville drains
Older neighborhoods have mature trees whose roots have found every old drain, and the fix is a new line routed around them with a proper outlet.
Lakeside lots drain to the water, and the shoreline rules govern what can be discharged there; the design keeps the water clean and the slope stable.
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.
On a sloped lot the uphill side sends water at the house, and an interceptor drain along that wall does more than anything at the foundation; the discharge is downhill and it is designed.
The house — its downspouts, its foundation type, its garage on the low side — sets where the water starts, and the design collects it there.

Water problems we fix in Hendersonville
Limestone shelf is common here and sits close to the surface in a lot of neighborhoods. It sets the practical depth for any drain and is the most frequent surprise on an excavation quote.
- Mulch or soil washing across a path
- Downspouts discharging at the foundation
- Cracks appearing in a retaining wall
- Standing water two days after rain
Ignoring the roof. A roof sheds an enormous volume of water. Solving a yard drainage problem while the downspouts still discharge at the foundation solves half a problem.
