A town named after its soil

According to the Evesham Historical Society, Marlton got its name from marl, a greensand deposit that was dug locally and sold as fertilizer in the 1800s. The New Jersey Geological Survey describes glauconite-bearing greensand formations running through this part of Burlington County. Some of these soils are clayey and drain slowly compared with the sandy soils farther into the Pinelands. Soil type varies from lot to lot, but where water drains slowly, it can linger against foundation walls after heavy rain.

Lake communities

Kings Grant and Marlton Lakes are built around lakes and the streams that feed them. Homes on low lots near water can see groundwater rise during long wet periods, and sump pumps may run for days at a time in spring. If your pump runs constantly, ask a contractor about pump capacity, a backup pump, and whether the discharge line is sending water back toward the house.

Townhouses and associations

Evesham has many townhouse and association communities. Check whether the association is responsible for grading, gutters and the foundation exterior before hiring anyone, and get approval for exterior changes.

Discharge and the street

Evesham's own guidance on curbside trees and sidewalks shows how many exterior items are the homeowner's responsibility in this township. For sump discharge, avoid running water across a sidewalk where it can freeze, or onto a neighbor's property. Ask the contractor about a buried line to a safe outlet and check with the township about anything that ties into the street or storm system.

Digging near utilities

Evesham is served by more than one electric utility, and most properties have buried gas, cable and water lines. Any exterior drainage work requires a call to NJ One Call (811) at least three full business days before digging.

Covering all of Marlton

Requests come in from Kings Grant, Marlton Lakes, the Main Street village and subdivisions off Route 70, and from streets along Route 70, Route 73, Main Street, Elmwood Road, Tomlinson Mill Road and Evesboro-Medford Road (ZIP 08053). The Evesham Township area sits near the lakes of Kings Grant and Marlton Lakes and the streams that feed the Rancocas, so mention in your request if your property is low-lying or close to the water.

Marlton questions

Why does my sump pump run so much in the spring?

In spring the water table is often high, especially near lakes and streams. Constant running can be normal in some homes, but it shortens pump life. Ask a contractor about capacity and a backup.

Do I need HOA approval for an exterior drain?

In many Evesham associations, yes. Check your governing documents before any digging or exterior changes.
