Lots, slopes and soil: how Nolensville 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.
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.
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.
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.

- Downspouts discharging at the foundation
- Cracks appearing in a retaining wall
- Standing water two days after rain
- Ground sloping toward the house
Solid pipe where perforated belongs. Perforated pipe collects groundwater along the run. Solid pipe only moves what enters at the top, which is a different job entirely.
