Call (931) 350-6986Drainage in Santa Fe
Western Maury County, hilly and heavily wooded. Sheet flow off a slope above the house is the usual complaint, and intercepting it uphill costs far less than dealing with it at the wall.
Two things decide how water behaves on a property in this part of Tennessee. The first is the ground itself, clay subsoil sitting over limestone, which drains slowly and pushes water sideways rather than down. The second is where the property sits in relation to everything uphill of it, because a great deal of what shows up in a yard here did not fall on it. That is why an assessment worth having starts at the top of the slope and works down, rather than starting at the puddle.
