Another Stormwater Drainage Problem - New Homeowner's Flooded Yard mitigated with a Dry Well

This nice young family just moved into the area and purchased this beautiful home. Two weeks after closing and moving in we got a two inch rainfall. The seller told them that they had fixed the yard water problems with grading and installing three FloWells. The 3 flowells couldn't handle this amount of rainfall. After measuring he had over a thousand gallons of standing water. We mitigated this issue by installing an appropriately sized chambered dry well - seepage trench - soak pit - recharge system using infiltrator chambers and new yard grading. They previously had standing water for a week, or more. Now the water is gone within 24 hrs. -------------------------------------------------- https://www.tyelandscaping.com/   / tyelandscaping   -------------------------------------------------- Music from Epidemic Sound: epidemicsound.com/referral/f0bdip/ -------------------------------------------------- 🧰 Tools & Materials We Use: ⚡ Utility & Excavation We use AirSpade to safely excavate around underground utilities — it’s saved us from costly damages more than once. 👉 Save 15% with code TYE15: https://www.airspade.com/discount/TYE15 Leica DD130 Underground Utility and Cable Locator Package - https://amzn.to/4o5qtdE 📏 Laser & Layout Our Laser - Topcon RL-H4C, no longer available.
