Drainage Guides
Plain explanations of the three issues that decide whether drainage works on a Longview property: where the water can discharge, how the seasonal water table affects depth, and what happens when a lot sits on old fill.
When a French Drain Needs a Pump
Gravity drains fail on flat lots for one reason: no outfall. How to tell whether your property has fall to work with, and what a basin and pump system involves.
High Water Table, and Why Deeper Is Not Better
In bottomland areas, groundwater can fill a French drain from below. That is why some installations are deliberately shallower.
Drainage on Old Fill and Compacted Ground
Imported fill and oilfield era site work shed water instead of absorbing it. What that means when trenching an older Gregg County lot.
