Lots, slopes and soil: how Mt. Juliet 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.
Where the builder’s drainage was never finished, three lots’ water often crosses one yard; the design collects it and carries it to a discharge that the neighbors and the city accept.
HOA lots share drainage easements, and a change to the flow needs the association’s sign-off; the contractor asks before digging.
The house — its downspouts, its foundation type, its garage on the low side — sets where the water starts, and the design collects it there.
