Why Proper Grading Matters

Improper grading is one of the leading causes of foundation problems, basement flooding, and drainage issues in Tennessee homes. When water drains toward a foundation instead of away from it, the results can be costly. Clear Flow grades every site to ensure positive drainage, water flows away from your structure, protecting your investment for decades.

East Tennessee's clay-heavy soils expand and contract significantly with moisture changes. Proper compaction and drainage grading are especially critical in our region to prevent settling, cracking, and erosion.
