Anyone have something they'd like to share with me? Been getting calls for drainage work like crazy this year (must be because of all the rain we've gotten). I would think that since there are alot of variables with drainage work the contracts would be different.

Any opinions or info would be greatly appreciated!!

Yeah--basements only leak when it's raining you know.Wish I had a dollar everytime I heard that. All different--no 2 alike.

Regardless of what type of drainage you're putting in here's what i think.

Definitely need to take into account:
Soil type
Rock Clauses if necessary
Depth as it pertains to how much pipe you'll be able to get a day(this is huge if its deep)
Dewatering?
Trench shoring?
