Challenge
During heavy rain events, water was reaching too high against the side of the home. The concern was not just nuisance ponding; it was long-term exposure near framing where water should never be allowed to sit.
Grading · Drainage
Home-Adjacent Regrade
Location
East Austin Area
Roughly 1,500 square feet directly beside a home was regraded to keep heavy-rain runoff away from vulnerable wood and framing.
East Austin Area
Case Study
Approach
TerraTech reworked the area adjacent to the slab, establishing positive drainage and reshaping the surface so runoff would contact only the slab edge and move away from the structure.
Result
The corrected grade now protects the home during heavy rainfall and turns a vulnerable edge into a more predictable, maintainable surface.
Outcomes
- Approximately 1,500 square feet regraded
- Positive drainage away from framing
- Reduced water exposure during heavy rain
