Grading & Drainage Correction for Temecula homeowners & businesses
Most Temecula homes were pad-and-slope graded during the 1990s–2000s tract boom — the median house dates to 1998 — so that builder grading is now 25-plus years old. City standards require graded slopes to carry berms that shed runoff away and existing drainage courses to keep functioning, so correction here usually means resetting the fall settled pads have lost, not cutting new contours.

Grading & Drainage Correction questions from Temecula customers
- My Temecula house is from the 1990s — why is water suddenly pooling near it?
- Most Temecula homes were pad-and-slope graded in the 1990s and 2000s, and that builder grading is now decades old. Fill settles, landscaping and hardscape get added, and the original slope away from the house flattens or reverses. Re-grading re-establishes the fall the pad has lost so surface water leaves the foundation again.
- What does Temecula require when re-grading a yard for drainage?
- City grading standards call for graded slopes to carry berms at the top that direct runoff away from the slope, and for existing drainage courses to keep functioning. Concrete drainage is held to a minimum grade of 0.5 percent. Correction work has to meet those rules, and larger earth-moving needs a grading permit, so scope is set by more than the wet spot.
- Is my problem bad grading or do I need a French drain?
- Grading correction fixes surface water — a pad that slopes the wrong way or low areas that pond. If water is instead seeping up through Temecula's clay or sitting below the surface, re-grading alone won't reach it and a subsurface drain does. Many valley lots on aged tract grading need the surface fall reset first, then subsurface work only where it stays wet.
