Denray Posted September 5, 2010 Report Posted September 5, 2010 So I was looking at this house built on a hillside where the first half of the garage driveway did not look like it would drain away from the house.

I guessed they were there to help drain that area when it filled over 8 inches deep. Click to Enlarge 64.37 KB Click to Enlarge 67.5 KB
John Kogel Posted September 6, 2010 Report Posted September 6, 2010 That's a good catch! I must say I would never pour water into a house like that unless I got an OK from the owner, but, hey, you found a problem.
Denray Posted September 22, 2010 Author Report Posted September 22, 2010 The hose bib was right there. I was putting water where the rain would fall. It all disapeared till I got to that section of the crawl area. Click to Enlarge 81.4 KB

Showing a picture of where the water is running is perfect.
