I need help with a drainage problem

William Fritzsche on Jul 28, 2015If it drains to a low spot within the walls, you could install a small sump pit and drain it that way. If it has several low spots, try to connect them to drainage channels saw-cut and pitched to one low spot and put in the sump. GFCI circuit for the small sump pump. Put a cast iron or fiberglass drain cover over the pit.Helpful Reply

Cat1786735 on Jul 28, 2015Here's possible cheap fix... It looks like you have a retaining wall and concrete patio that are holding in the excess water. Depending on what's behind that wall/patio have you considered drilling slanted drain holes in the patio and/the retaining wall to release the water? A large and long concrete drill bit might do the trick.Helpful Reply

Jewelsgems on Jul 30, 2015I have a drainage problem in front of our patio door which opens out onto grass. When it rains hard, it puddles in front of the door. What needs to be done here? Thank you, JBHelpful Reply

William Fritzsche on Jul 30, 2015If you can use either pipe or hose to get over, or through the retaining wall to a point that gives positive drainage away from the wall, that is all you need.. I am guessing the 100 ft trench was to give you a gravity drain, not a pumped drain. Where does your roof water drain to?Helpful Reply
