Lots, slopes and soil: how Spring Hill 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.
Settling fill turns the grade toward the house within a few years, and the regrade with compacted soil and a drain is the job that protects the foundation.
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.
HOA lots share drainage easements, and a change to the flow needs the association’s sign-off; the contractor asks before digging.
