About a mile and a half down the road, a guy built A nice house. Nice 2 door garage, new well etc. He just forgot to take one measurement. The last rain storm showed him he should have brought in about 6 inches of packed fill dirt before he put the house up.

Water table or surface water? If its surface a nice but ugly horseshoe swale around the house may help him.

It's surface water. When I went by, it was up to the rims on his truck. If he had stopped by Lowe's to get some surveying gear, he could have learned that he was about to build in the bottom of a basin and filled it for maybe half what it will cost to fix it.
