We sub contracted 3 of our houses up north. First two houses were a flat fill, third house was a foot high fill, due to the high water table on our property. We wanted a deep basement and had to fill around house to accommodate the higher I beam. Do you mean houses should have been built higher? We did not have any water issues from flooding of the pond, in TV
