I need help with drainage around my bilco door.
+3
It is located downhill and we have had water in our basement at different seasons. Once water (from rain and melting snow) pouring down the stairs over ice covered grass in our yard. We have raised the bilco door unit up on pressure treated wood but it is still flush with the grass surface surrounding it. I would like advice about how to install drainage around the unit that will move drainage away from the bilco door. We have a slight downgrade leading to a street level storm drain. Any advise and help is appreciated. Thanks!

Look up "Installing a French Drain" on YouTube. It's hard work, but can be done by a novice.
I would look at the earth around your house. Water needs to drain away from the house. If you can't do that, install a French Drain.
They do sell a plastic shaped see through that goes over it to prevent rain water getting in and my mother in law purchased one on line or heres a few photo ideas that may help or brain storm to make oneđź“Ś
I think this will help!
I think a French Drain may be the answer. Thank you for all your help!
