Drainage Solutions In Middle Tennessee


Solving Water Problems At The Source

WM Tucker provides drainage solutions designed to protect land, structures, and access across Middle Tennessee. With over 20 years of experience, we focus on understanding how water moves across and below the surface so drainage systems work long after installation.

DRAINAGE SERVICES

We provide complete drainage solutions for property owners dealing with standing water, erosion, and runoff issues. Every drainage plan starts with evaluating slope, soil conditions, and water flow patterns.

  • French Drains
  • Curtain Drains
  • Yard Drains
  • Surface And Subsurface Drainage
  • Drainage Ditches, Swales, & Berms

WHY PROPER DRAINAGE MATTERS

Poor drainage leads to foundation issues, washed out driveways, erosion, and unusable land. Water problems rarely fix themselves and often get worse over time.

Correct drainage protects the property and prevents costly repairs later.

  • Redirecting Water Away From Structures
  • Preventing Soil Erosion
  • Reducing Standing Water
  • Protecting Roads And Driveways
  • Improving Long Term Land Use

SURFACE AND SUBSURFACE DRAINAGE

Water moves both across the surface and underground. Effective drainage systems address both to prevent saturation and soft ground conditions.

Each solution is designed based on how water enters and moves through the property.

  • Surface Runoff Control
  • Subsurface Water Collection
  • Slope And Grade Adjustments
  • Drainage Channel Installation
  • Water Flow Redirection

CULVERTS AND DRAINAGE DITCHES

Culverts and open drainage systems are critical for managing water across roads, driveways, and low areas. When installed incorrectly, they become failure points.

We design these systems to handle expected water volume and protect surrounding areas.

  • Culvert Installation
  • Drainage Ditches
  • Swales And Berms
  • Roadside Drainage
  • Cross Drain Solutions

DRAINAGE REPAIR AND CORRECTION

Existing drainage systems often fail due to improper design or changes to the land. Fixing the root cause prevents repeat problems.

Repairs focus on restoring proper flow and correcting grading issues.

  • Washed Out Areas
  • Standing Water Problems
  • Clogged Or Collapsed Drains
  • Erosion Damage
  • Failed Culverts

Drainage FAQs

What are signs of poor drainage on a property?

Standing water, erosion, muddy areas, foundation issues, and washed out driveways are common signs.

What is the difference between surface and subsurface drainage?

Surface drainage moves water across the ground. Subsurface drainage collects water below the surface and redirects it away.

Do French drains always solve drainage problems?

Not always. French drains work in certain conditions, but proper grading and surface control are often just as important.

Why does water keep coming back after a drainage fix?

This usually happens when only part of the problem was addressed. Water sources, slope, and soil must all be considered.

Can drainage problems damage foundations?

Yes. Poor drainage can cause soil movement, settling, and long term foundation issues.

How do you determine the best drainage solution?

By evaluating slope, soil, water sources, and how water moves across and below the surface.

What causes yard flooding?

Yard flooding is often caused by improper grading, compacted soil, or blocked drainage paths.

Are drainage ditches better than underground drains?

It depends on the site. Some properties benefit from open drainage while others need subsurface systems.

Can drainage issues be fixed without tearing up the whole yard?

In some cases yes. The solution depends on where the water originates and how it moves.

When should drainage be addressed?

As soon as problems appear. Drainage issues usually worsen over time and become more expensive to fix.
