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.

There was a hose nearby so added water for about 10 minutes.

The water disappeared under the decking near the house.

Last part of crawl showed where it was going to beneath the master bedroom. No one ever checked in this area. Hatch had screws in it.

Gutter drains going across the lowest part of the crawl area had hole in the top of them. I guessed they were there to help drain that area when it filled over 8 inches deep.

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.

Denny,

I do the same thing regularly. It beats saying "I think" in the report. Showing a picture of where the water is running is perfect.
