Why Knox County Homeowners Call Us
The Knox County Drainage Problem Is Not Your Fault.
Middle and West Tennessee's silt loam soils with fragipan horizons create drainage conditions as challenging as Georgia's red clay — water-blocking subsoil layers that defeat gravity-based drainage systems. Knox County's Shady and Nolichucky clay loam soils are derived from limestone bedrock that creates both expansive clay drainage problems and sinkholes in some areas. The hilly East Tennessee terrain concentrates runoff dramatically.
Knoxville's West Knox County growth corridor and the Farragut community are experiencing significant drainage issues as affluent new construction encounters East Tennessee clay loam in hilly terrain that concentrates runoff.
With individual storms averaging 2.8+ inches, Knox County's soils are asked to absorb water far faster than they physically can. Every inch of rain generates ~0.6 gallons per square foot of roof surface — thousands of gallons per storm concentrated at your downspouts, foundation, and yard.
The most common drainage problems we see in Knox County communities including Farragut, West Knoxville, Bearden, Cedar Bluff, Hardin Valley:
- East Tennessee clay loam drainage failures in Farragut and West Knox
- Hilly terrain concentrating runoff into downhill properties
- Limestone bedrock creating perched water tables in Knox County
- Knoxville suburban growth encountering clay drainage challenges
The root cause in almost every Knox County case is the same: a gravity-dependent system trying to function in Shady-Nolichucky Clay Loam with no slope. That combination guarantees failure. Our pressure-fed systems don't need slope — they move water via pressure, which works in any terrain and any soil type.
The Hydro Fix Solution
Pressure-Fed Drainage Built for Knox County's Conditions.
