Frequently asked questions
The house is new. Why would there already be a drainage issue?
Because the land changed faster than the drainage design did. Converting farmland to subdivision removes the absorptive surface and adds compaction, so runoff volumes rise sharply. The engineered system carries what was platted, and development upstream of it kept going afterward.
Does limestone underneath matter if the house is on a slab?
It matters for where water goes rather than for the slab itself. On limestone, infiltrating water moves through seams and can surface some distance from where it entered, so drainage designed from surface contours can be undercut by a path through the rock.
How much does construction compaction actually affect a finished lot?
More than most people expect, and it persists. Heavy equipment compacts subsoil well below the topsoil that gets replaced at the end, so infiltration stays reduced for the life of the lot. Water that the original ground would have absorbed now runs across the surface instead.
