Lots, slopes and soil: how Walterhill drains
Rural properties have driveways that wash out, culverts that block and fields that flood, and the excavation work is at a scale where the machine and the operator are the service.
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.
Near the river the water table rises and surface drains stop working when the ground is saturated; the design accounts for it and does not promise a dry yard in a flood.
On flat ground the water has nowhere to go, and the design finds fall where there is almost none — a dry well or a pumped discharge is sometimes the honest answer.
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.
