Common Drainage Problems
Homeowners in Knoxville ask for help with the yard drainage issues below. Note that individual providers may offer different services — each independent professional decides what work they take on.
Standing Water & Soggy Yard
Persistently wet areas of the yard, puddles that linger for days after rain, and ground that stays soft long after a storm.
French Drains
Gravel-filled trenches with perforated pipe that collect and carry groundwater away from problem spots in the yard.
Downspout Drainage
Roof gutters and downspouts that dump water right next to the foundation instead of moving it away from the house.
Catch Basins & Surface Drains
Yard drains and grates that collect sheet-flowing water from patios, driveways, and low spots before it pools.
Grading & Slope Correction
Yards that were pitched toward the house over time, causing rainwater to run toward the foundation instead of away.
Foundation & Crawl-Space Drainage
Water collecting around the foundation or moisture in the crawl space after heavy rains.

Why Drainage Matters
Most yard drainage problems are manageable once they’re correctly identified. Knowing what water is doing on your property — where it collects, where it comes from, and where it goes — is the first step to fixing it.
If any of the situations below sound familiar, describing them in a request is a good starting point.
Recurring standing water
Soggy areas that never seem to dry out can keep the soil saturated, thin out grass, and become a breeding spot for mosquitoes.
Erosion
Water moving across a sloped yard can carry away topsoil, mulch, and new plantings, leaving ruts and bare patches behind.
Wet crawl spaces
Water that pools near the house can find its way into the crawl space, contributing to moisture, musty odors, and humidity under the home.
Landscaping damage
Plants and lawns in consistently wet areas can struggle or die, undoing years of yard work and expense.
Water moving toward structures
Grading that directs runoff toward the house, or downspouts that empty at the foundation, can keep moisture concentrated right where you least want it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of drainage problems can I submit?
Anything water-related in your yard: standing water and soggy ground, French drains, downspout drainage, catch basins and surface drains, grading and slope issues, or water near the foundation and crawl space. If you are not sure what the problem is, submit the details you have and select “Not sure” — that is a common answer.
Does it cost anything to submit a request?
No. There is no fee to submit a request through this site. If you hire a service provider, that independent business sets its own pricing, and you would discuss it directly with them.
Are you the contractor?
No. Knoxville Drainage Connect is not a contractor. We are an independent referral and lead-generation service, and we do not perform construction or repair work. Any professional you are connected with is an independent business.
Will my information be shared?
Only as needed to respond to your request. By submitting, you agree that the information you provide may be used to respond to your inquiry and may be shared with an independent local service professional for the purpose of responding to your drainage inquiry.
Do you guarantee a contractor is available?
No. We cannot guarantee that a suitable professional is available in your area at any given time. Availability depends on the independent providers serving your part of Knoxville and Knox County.

No. If you have an immediate safety emergency — flooding that threatens people, a gas or electrical hazard, or a sewer backup — contact the appropriate emergency or utility service first.
