Buy the House on the Hill… And Then Call Us
Everyone loves the idea of buying “the house on the hill”… right up until the water starts racing downhill like it’s trying to win an Olympic event. In this video, we’re in Shelby Township, MI, showing exactly what happens when a beautiful lakefront property sits on a steep grade with zero drainage control.
Water + Gravity + Hillside = Erosion, mudslides, washed-out yards, and huge retaining wall bills.
We walk you through the real-world reality most homeowners never consider:
Steep hillside → water accelerates
Water accelerates → soil washes out
Soil washes out → retaining walls fail
Retaining walls fail → major $$$
OR… install the right drainage and avoid all of it
Watch as we show how much water funnels into this yard and how a properly installed French drain system can save tens of thousands of dollars in future repairs. All the erosion you see? That’s preventable with the right setup from day one.
If you’ve ever been told “buy the house on the hill—no drainage issues!” …this video might make you think twice.
