Hi Constance, do you happen to have a source of available sand? Up here we filled old feed sacks with sand and it actually worked pretty good and was very cheap.
sand bags. A ditch if possible.....I had water coming in my basement dug a shallow but larger swale..large shallow depression about 10 feet from the house. It would hold water and 24 h later the water would be gone. You might want to chat with the owner of the field....let them know how thier field is affecting your property.
Answer this Hometalker's question! Good thinking. Thanks!
Sounds like you need a steel culvert under the road to allow the water to pass to the other side.
Why not dig a swale to move the water where you want? Have you checked with your city or county to see if they would assist you. If you do not own the land the road is on, they may be responsible for any flooding that occurs on your land.
Take pictures, make a paper trail - all contacts should be in writing - letters, send them registered, return receipt requested, otherwise you have no proof of what was said. request that they contact you in writing...so sorry to hear of your plight.
