Why the symptom can return
Identify what is driving the problem.
Collecting water without a suitable discharge—or redirecting it without considering adjacent areas—can move the problem instead of solving it.

Plan Andover Drainage Around Where the Water Can Go
Standing water and erosion need more context than a single dry-weather photo. GradeCraft reviews the pattern, surrounding grades, affected features, and outlet options.
A more complete scope
Connect the correction to the property.
A useful drainage plan identifies the source and outlet first, then selects the appropriate combination of grading, trenching, pipe, stone, or collection points.
- The water source and the conditions that trigger it
- A practical outlet that does not create another problem
- Whether surface grading belongs in the correction
Helpful project evidence
Show the conditions a description cannot.
Show the affected area before, during, and after rain when possible, along with roof leaders, slopes, driveways, structures, and lower ground.
