Drainage & Excavation for Murfreesboro homeowners
Murfreesboro has grown faster than almost anywhere in the region, which means a very large volume of housing built inside a narrow band of years — and now aging on the same schedule.
Beyond the older streets near the square and the university, Murfreesboro is dominated by subdivision building from the late 1990s onward, with an enormous amount of it from 2003 to 2008. Brick and vinyl, slab-on-grade far more often than the counties to the west, and consistent enough from street to street that the same failure shows up across a whole neighborhood within a year or two of itself.
That matters for drainage and excavation because the age and construction of a house decides most of what we find in it. Slab construction changes several trades substantially — plumbing leaks are under concrete rather than in a crawl space, and flooring decisions turn on slab moisture rather than crawl humidity.

Perforated pipe in washed stone, wrapped and sloped properly, which is what separates a drain from a buried pipe.
Learn moreGrading & Regrading

Learn moreCatch Basins & Surface Drains
Collecting water where it pools and taking it somewhere it can actually go.
Learn moreDownspout & Gutter Drainage
Piping roof water well clear of the foundation, which is the single cheapest drainage improvement most houses can make.
Learn moreExcavation & Site Work
Footings, utility trenches, pads and site prep, with locates called before anything breaks ground.
Learn moreRetaining Walls & Erosion Control
Holding a slope and draining behind it, because a retaining wall without drainage is a wall waiting to fail.

What brings us to Murfreesboro.
Middle Tennessee clay drains slowly and holds water at the surface, which is why so many Nashville gardens have a soggy patch that persists for days after everyone else has dried out.
- A soggy patch that never dries
- Mulch or soil washing across a path
- Downspouts discharging at the foundation
- Cracks appearing in a retaining wall
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.
