Lots, slopes and soil: how White Bluff 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.
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.
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.
Older neighborhoods have mature trees whose roots have found every old drain, and the fix is a new line routed around them with a proper outlet.
A wet crawl space is a drainage problem outside first, and the exterior drain and the grading usually fix more than anything installed under the house.
