Why this keeps happening

When a backyard floods repeatedly, the most important question is where the water enters and where it can leave. A useful plan intercepts the flow before it spreads across the yard and provides a dependable route to a lower discharge point.

  • Watch where runoff enters the area
  • Check whether downspouts discharge nearby
  • Identify the lowest point after rain
  • Confirm there is a workable discharge route

Possible solutions

French Drain

Intercepts water moving through saturated soil and carries it through a gravel-filled trench.

Surface Drainage

Catch basins and area drains capture visible runoff at low points.

Grading & Swales

Changes the surface path so runoff moves away naturally where the site allows.

What usually causes this problem?

When a backyard floods repeatedly, the most important question is where the water enters and where it can leave. A useful plan intercepts the flow before it spreads across the yard and provides a dependable route to a lower discharge point.

Does this always require a French drain?

No. The correct solution may be grading, a swale, surface drains, catch basins, downspout drainage or a French drain depending on how the water reaches the area.

What should be checked first?

Look at the property during or immediately after rain. Note where water enters, where it sits, nearby downspouts and whether there is a lower place for water to exit.

Describe what happens after a hard rain

That is often the fastest way to narrow down the drainage problem.
