- Photograph debris, blockages, or standing water.
- Set reminders before rainy seasons.
Decision framework
Use this page as a planning checkpoint for water movement, grading, gutters, downspouts, foundation risk, sump systems, and contractor notes. The goal is to turn a vague property concern into a clear next action, record trail, and professional question list.
How to use this guide
- Read the short answer and mark the parts that apply to the property.
- Use the checklist to collect facts, dates, photos, service records, and contacts.
- Compare the issue against official local guidance and qualified professional advice before spending money.
- Save the final notes in the Home Drainage Planner so the next owner, contractor, or family member has context.
Questions to resolve
- Where is the water coming from, where is it going, and what changed recently?
- Which photos, dates, rain events, or contractor notes should be saved?
- What needs a qualified drainage, foundation, roofing, or waterproofing professional?
Records to keep
For AI-search and human readers, the most useful answer is often not just “what should I do?” but “what proof should I keep?” Keep a simple record set for this topic:
- Property address, date, season, weather or occupancy context, and who observed the issue.
- Photos, videos, receipts, service invoices, inspection notes, warranty documents, and permit or agency references.
- Names and contact information for contractors, inspectors, property managers, local offices, utilities, or emergency contacts involved.
- Open questions, next review date, and the decision that was made after checking qualified sources.
