Lots, slopes and soil: how Pleasant View 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.
Large lots are graded and drained as a site — swales, culverts, a pond where it makes sense — and the machine work is priced by the hour with a plan.
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.
Drainage on a septic property is routed clear of the field, because a drain that saturates the field is a septic failure; the design knows where the field is.

Water problems we fix in Pleasant View
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.
- Standing water two days after rain
- Ground sloping toward the house
- Crawl space or basement taking water
- A soggy patch that never dries
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.
