Drainage and Excavation in Rockwood, TN

Iron River Earthworks fixed a drainage problem at a house in Rockwood, TN, working from our base in Harriman. Here’s what was wrong, what we cut and how the slope was set.

What Was Wrong?

Water was running off the hill, across the patio and under the house. The owner also wanted more usable space next to the patio.

How Did We Fix It?

We cut out about 45 yards of dirt, most of it hard pan, and graded a 2% slope in two directions so the water runs away from the house.

Excavation Beside the Shed

The cut runs along the bottom of the slope to the shed, where the owner wanted more usable space next to the patio.

How Was the Slope Set?

With a dual-slope grade laser, so the 2% fall in two directions comes out exact.
