Most often: standing water days after rain; water running toward the house; soggy patch that never dries out; crawl space or basement taking water. You do not need to know the name of the fix to ask — describe the symptom in your enquiry and the drainage contractor will tell you what it is.

Middle Tennessee clay soil, compacted ground, and grading that gives the water nowhere to go. Clay absorbs slowly, so water that would soak away in sandy soil sits on the surface here. Compaction from construction traffic makes it worse. The solution is usually a combination of regrading to move water off, and a drain to take away what the ground cannot absorb.

A gravel-filled trench with a perforated pipe that collects subsurface water and carries it somewhere it can discharge. You need one where water collects and cannot be regraded away — at the base of a slope, along a foundation wall, or in a low area of the yard. It needs somewhere to go: a French drain that discharges nowhere just relocates the problem underground.

Linear footage, depth, and what the machine has to get through. Rock is the variable that matters most here — Middle Tennessee limestone shelf close to the surface turns straightforward trenching into slow work. Access for equipment is the other: a back garden reachable only through a narrow gate may have to be dug by hand. Discharge point and restoration of the lawn add.

Often you can improve it substantially, and it is always the first thing to try. A roof sheds an enormous volume of water, and downspouts discharging at the wall are the single most common cause of a wet foundation. Extending them several feet away, and regrading the first few feet around the house to fall away, solves a surprising number of problems for very little money.

Yes, always — Tennessee 811 before any excavation, free and required. Utilities are marked within a few working days. Hitting a gas or fibre line is dangerous and expensive, and the liability sits with whoever dug without locating. Any contractor who starts trenching without marked utilities on the ground is telling you something about how they work.
