Lots, slopes and soil: how Kingston Springs 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.
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.
A wet crawl space is a drainage problem outside first, and the exterior drain and the grading usually fix more than anything installed under the house.
Near the river the water table rises and surface drains stop working when the ground is saturated; the design accounts for it and does not promise a dry yard in a flood.
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.
