Lots, slopes and soil: how Thompson’s Station 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.
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.
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.

Water problems we fix in Thompson’s Station
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.
- Cracks appearing in a retaining wall
- Standing water two days after rain
- Ground sloping toward the house
- Crawl space or basement taking water
No fabric. Without a fabric wrap, soil migrates into the stone and the system silts up within a few years. It is cheap and it is the difference between five years and twenty.
