WHAT’S THE WATER DOING?
Water pooling around your house
Start by observing the route from the roof to the ground. Downspouts, surface levels and hard landscaping can concentrate water next to a building. A solution needs a suitable destination for the water.
What to look for.
- Where does water collect and how long does it remain?
- Does water flow toward the building or adjoining property?
- Is there an appropriate, permitted discharge destination?
Observe only from a safe place. Do not touch electrical equipment in wet areas or climb onto a wet roof.
