French drain installation in Mount Pleasant, Tennessee

Drainage in Mount Pleasant

Old phosphate country, where past mining has left ground that behaves unpredictably from one lot to the next. It is worth knowing what is under a property before deciding where a drain should run.

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.
