Castle Hayne's rural northwest New Hanover County setting brings larger lots, original grading from decades ago, wetland adjacency, and septic considerations. Here is what drainage looks like outside the city limits.
Kure Beach sits on the southern end of Pleasure Island with sandy soils, tidal water tables, FEMA flood zone exposure, and storm surge risk. Here is what drainage looks like on this quieter barrier island community.
Wrightsville Beach barrier island properties face tight lots, a tidal water table, storm surge, and salt air corrosion all at once. Here is what drainage design looks like on a high-value coastal island.
Surf City straddles barrier island and mainland Pender County, which means drainage problems and solutions vary by which side of the Intracoastal Waterway a property sits on. Here is what works on each side and why.
Swansboro waterfront properties face tidal river, low elevation, and aging stormwater infrastructure. Here is how drainage actually works when the receiving water is sometimes higher than the source.
Midway Park, Tarawa Terrace, and the Camp Lejeune-adjacent communities face compacted soils and modified runoff patterns from decades of military housing density. Here is what drainage solutions actually work.
