Where these figures come from
Every number on this property comes from the American Community Survey, and each one is an estimate with a published margin of error rather than an exact count. Where the margin is wide enough that the figure cannot be trusted, the figure is left off the page instead of printed with a hedge.
What is missing, and why that is said out loud
Two kinds of local fact are not here yet. Permit counts, which come from the county rather than from a survey. And soil, which comes from the national soil survey and is the single most useful fact for drainage work, because clay and sand do not behave alike. Neither is published on this page yet, and a page that implied otherwise would be worse than a gap.
When not to buy one
Water on the floor after a heavy rain, near one wall, with a downspout outside it. Fix the downspout first. Water that seeps through a wall in a wet spring and never in summer. Look at the grade first. A drain installed around either of those is money spent on the wrong cause.

Questions people actually ask
Does a French drain fix water in a Clinton basement?
Sometimes. Often the cause is a downspout, and a downspout should discharge at least 6 feet from the wall. Moving it costs a small fraction of a drain. A drain is the answer when water has nowhere to go, not when it is simply aimed at the wall.
When can a drain be dug in Davis County?
Frozen ground stops the work. The usual window runs about 8 months, opening once the frost is out and closing when it returns. Book about 6 weeks ahead inside that window.
How long does the work take?
Most residential runs take 1 to 3 days. Add a day when a machine cannot reach the back yard.
Who pulls the permit?
The trade doing the work pulls it in their own name, and it comes from Davis County rather than from city hall in many cases. Expect 1 inspection on a residential trench, and ask to see the permit before the first cut.
